title: [Symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia and anxiety: a dynamic analysis].
abstract: The paper analyses the connection between anxiety and different symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. In the study 66 patients admitted to hospital with an episode of paranoid schizophrenia were examined by a set of tests. Exacerbation of anxiety was measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), whilst symptoms of schizophrenia--by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and Scale for Assessment of Positive and negative Symptoms (SANS < SAPS). Statistically important correlations between anxiety and the majority of positive symptoms were observed. On the other hand, correlations between negative symptoms and anxiety experienced by the sick appeared variously.
