Abstract:
This case describes delusions of vampirism among several other psychotic symptoms in a 15-year-old who has a diagnosis of schizophrenia, with these delusions first presenting when he was 13 years of age. Delusions of vampirism can be associated with a strong desire to suck human blood but these delusional beliefs were not acted upon here. This is the first report of delusions of vampirism in childhood to date. The introduction of the antipsychotic medication clozapine after failed treatment trials with two other antipsychotic agents has been associated with a significant amelioration in symptomatology and an improvement in functioning.
摘要:
该病例描述了一名15岁的精神分裂症患者在其他几种精神病症状中的吸血鬼妄想,这些妄想在他13岁时首次出现。吸血鬼的妄想可能与吸人血的强烈愿望有关,但这些妄想的信念在这里并没有付诸实施。这是迄今为止关于童年吸血鬼妄想的第一份报告。在与其他两种抗精神病药的治疗试验失败后,引入抗精神病药物氯氮平与症状学的显着改善和功能的改善有关。
