IMMUNOLOGICAL PREDICTORS OF SOCIAL FUNCTIONING IN CHILDREN WITH ENDOGENOUS PSYCHOSES

The problem of the outcomes of the first psychotic episodes occurring in childhood as well as the level of disruption of social functioning (SF) is an actual problem of psychiatry. Taking into account the results of recent studies demonstrating the involvement of the immune system in the pathogenesis of endogenous mental disorders, the purpose of this work was to identify the immunological predictors of SF in children undergoing endogenous psychosis in accordance with the PSP scale. It is shown that the level of activation of the immune system (based on the “Neuro-immuno-test” immune indicators) at the psychotic stage can serve as a predictor of further social functioning SF of the child in the post-attack period.
