To the clinical picture of polyneuritic psychosis

More than 20 years ago Prof. Korsakov described several cases of polyneuritis combined with mental disorder, and 2 years later, in one of his articles on the same topic, he wrote: I consider it necessary to pay attention once again to this form, because, in my opinion, it is too little known doctors, and meanwhile, it often has to be faced not only by psychiatrists, but also by doctors of other specialties; I will say even more: cases of this form in most cases are under the supervision not of psychiatrists, but of therapists or gynecologists, since the mental disorder I am describing develops in the course of postpartum, acute and infectious, and some chronic diseases.
