Psychopathologic manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus - [Article in Russian] - Guseva LL, Luninskaia IR
The authors studied 200 cases of systemic lupus erythematosus. In most of the patients (117 cases) they exhibited neurasthenic symptoms and somato-psychic adynamia. In 3 cases there was a hallucinatory syndrome and in 2 - a hallucinatory-paranoid psychosis. The pathomorphological findings depicted organic brain lesions (vasculitis).
A supplementary factor promoting mental disturbances in some cases could be an overdosage of corticosteroids and kidney lesions
