[Clinical variants of neurosis-like disorders in burns]

A total of 130 patients were treated in a burn unit of a hospital. Three stages of neurosis-like disorders were noted: (1), acute stress reaction close in its structure to prodromal phase of exogenous psychoses and approximately coinciding with the burn shock; (2), formation and dissolution of psychopathologic syndromes (asthenic, depressive and asthenic-depressive), resembling the so-called "transitional" syndromes coinciding with toxemias and septic pyemias; (3), late psychogenesis (mobilization, pseudoeuphoric and hypochondriac).
