title: [A role of sex in the development of manifesting schizophrenic psychoses in adolescents].
abstract: To study an effect of sex on symptoms and course of schizophrenia, we have compared two groups (n=70) of adolescents of both sexes with manifesting schizophrenic psychoses. Between-group differences in the family history of schizophrenia, premorbid functioning, typology and duration of initial and manifesting stages of the attack, dynamics of psychosis, frequency of cognitive disorders have been revealed. These differences may predict a benign course of schizophrenic psychosis in girls as compared to boys.
