title: [Asthenic disorders in burn disease].
abstract: A total of 73 patients with burn disease were examined. The whole period of the disease was marked by a distinct asthenic symptomatology shown by predominance of physical asthenia, by stable and stereotypic mental disturbances. The asthenic disorders correlated with the somatic state of the patient. Such disorders were seen for a long period of time, and even after recovery. Apart from asthenic symptomatology, all the patients demonstrated disturbances in the intellectual sphere, and in intellectual-mnestic processes, which were also seen in the late periods of burn disease. The changes in the neurologic state were characterized by lesions of the cranial nerves, anizoreflexia of the hemitype, pathological reflexes in the hand and feet, vegetative-trophic disturbances indicating that all the patients who had extensive and deep burns developed encephalopathy.
