[Successful therapy of the psychiatric patient with catatonic paranoidal syndrome and monitoring of induced cytokine production].
The paper reports the case of a 42-year-old woman with a diagnosed catatonic-paranoidal syndrome and a noted dysfunction as regards lymphocyte subpopulation and the production of some cytokins: Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) and interferons (IFN). As the first phase of the treatment had proved unsuccessful and there appeared symptoms hinting at the possibility of a subclinical inflammatory process in the brain, parallel to psychiatric therapy, treatment was instituted in the system of successive three-week cycles with Tołpa's Peat Extract (PTT), Selenium and Zinc on a natural yeast basis (Selenium and Zinc preparations) as well as with encortone. After a month of treatment a complete clinical remission was achieved as well as normalization as regards all the tested immunological markers.
