Abstract
On the example of 65 patients with paranoid schizophrenia, the effect of coronavirus infection on this group
of patients was studied. It has been established that coronavirus infection can manifest itself in patients with paranoid
schizophrenia in the form of transient psychoses, which are represented by schizophrenic symptoms, as well as clinical
manifestations of confusion syndromes. An assumption was made about the possibility of coronavirus infection to influence
different links of pathogenesis, during the formation of psychotic disorders in this group of patients.
