title: [Clinical and dynamic features of pathological craving for narcotics in patients with opioid (heroin) addiction].
abstract: Particular features have been studied of the clinical picture and time-related course of an abnormal urge to consume narcotics in patients with opiumism. The time-related characteristics of the pathological urge undergo qualitative changes with progression of the illness from the discrete character of actualization to a continuous maintenance of the addiction in the active state. Variants of the pathological urge to opiates dynamics, characteristic of different stages of opium addiction are highlighted.
