Abstract
Considering delirium tremens as an infectious delirium with alcoholism in etiology and alcoholic traits in the clinical picture, Damaje (L'encephale, 1925, No. 3; according to the ref. In Modern Psych., 1925, No. 5) recommends treating it first of all attention to t ° and the patient's nutritional status. If the temperature is increased, and the nutrition is bad, you need to immediately start anti-infectious therapy, - injections of electralgol and antistreptococcal serum; in non-streptococcal cases, the antistreptococcal serum is replaced with antipneimococcal. In this case, in no case should you deprive the patient of alcohol.
