Abstract
A group of 34 physically healthy young patients, aged 18-27 years at their first psychotic attack, before neuroleptic treatment and admission, were tested simultaneously with 24 age- and sex-matched controls for levels of serum interferon. No statistically significant differences were found between patients and controls. Therefore, no correlation between acute viral infection and schizophrenia was demonstrated.
