Therapy Sensitivity in Clinico-Immunological Research

Abstract

Psychopathologica1and immunological investigation of 95 patients sufferingfrom acute episodesof schizophrenia was carriedout. For the pwposes of ~le horrogcneitythe initial course ot treatment includedhaloperido! andamitriptylin in meantherapeuticdoses. 1bc result of the clinico-inununological investigation of intensive psychophll1Tnlcotherapy process showedceruin changesin the immunological indices whichmay be consideredan illustration of the influenceof the inwnunc processeson differenttypesof therapy reBCIions. The dynamic changesollhe immunological indices correlated with the rapid and effectivereductionof psychopathological disorders in intensive therapy. In cases or protractedepisodesthe immunological indices altered to a lesserdegree in comparison with the initialparameters. These indicesmay be considered predictors of therapyefficiency.
