EEG and dementia indicators in AIDS patients' Rorschach test

Abstract: We studied the EEG and Rorschach test (RT) of nineteen AIDS patients and eight normal people in the same age group. Eight patients presented slow alpha rhythms (8 to 9 Hz); three, not-slow alpha rhythms (>9 to 13Hz); and eight, beta rhythms in background activity. Paroxystic activity, characterized by diffuse theta or delta waves, was present in eleven patients. We observed Oberholzer syndrome (organic dementia diagnosed by RT) in ten patients and Piotrowski syndrome (organic dementia diagnosed by RT) in el… Show more

“…The alpha rhythm becomes alterated in a major portion of AIDS patients, earlier or later during the disease's evolution, being more evidently alterated when the patient exhibits signs and symptoms of dementia [17][18][19][20] . We have observed that the background rhythm's mean of our study groups varied between 9 Hz and 9.5 Hz, a value under what would be the expected normal mean for the matched age healthy population 15 .…”

“…Some researchers consider insomniac´s personality in the treatment of PPI. Rorschach test (RT) is a projective instrument used to evaluate personality and though it can have other applications, it is rich in interpretations and it could be a very good tool to help the CBT 6 . The primary goal of this study is to describe personality features of PPI patients throughout RT.…”
