Abstract

SUMMARY. Infectious psychoses have been known since ancient times, but they are still difficult to diagnose, treat and taking care for this category of patients. Knowledge of the historical stages of the studying and clinic of infectious psychoses are important for a doctor of any profile, as it gives a deep understanding of the nature of this category of disorders and an understanding of what to expect from the patient. Infectious psychoses can occur at any stage of the disease. Often, they occur due to an increase in the severity of the disease with increased metabolic, vascular and other disorders. Usually, in such cases, psychoses develop according to the type of exogenous reaction with typical syndromes of it (delirium, oneiroid, amentia, twilight state of consciousness). The relationship between the occurrence of psychoses and the severity of the somatic condition is not absolute. Almost all syndromes known in psychopathology are described in patients with infectious disease psychosis.
