[The state with the predominance of obsessive-compulsive disorders in the structure of childhood onset schizophrenia].

Sixty inpatients, aged 7 to 15 years, with obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) have been examined. The inclusion criteria comprised diagnostic ICD-10 criteria for OCD (F42), schizophrenia childhood type (F20.83) and neurotic-like schizophrenia (F21.3). Patients with organic CNS disorder signs and marked somatic pathology were excluded from the study. According to clinical features of the disease and its course (disease progressiveness), three OCD types have been determined: OCD in the structure of affective and neurotic-like spectra disorders (type 1); OCD in the structure of paranoid spectrum disorders (type 2); OCD in the structure of states with prevail of "acquired" affective and negative disorders (type 3). Consideration of OCD types in childhood schizophrenia and the disease course allows to predict severity of negative changes and remissions that facilitates an adequate determination of the patients' adaptive potential.
