The influence of endovascular laser therapy and of antioxidants on cli
nical immunological Indices and energy metabolism was analysed in 148
schizophrenic patients including 86 patients with shift-like progredie
nt (first group) and 62 patients with continous-progredient (second gr
oup) forms of the disease. Positive trends in psychosis course were ob
served in 57% of oases in the first group and In 41,9% of patients of
the second group. Pronounced improvement of the immunological Indices
was observed In patients with positive clinical dynamics: decreased pe
ripheral blood immunocytes sensitization to the brain, hepatic, thymus
tissue antigenes as well as ATP elevation which was evidence of the I
mprovement of energy metabolism.
