AB In an African population of 292 women, hospitalised for psychiatric
reasons, the seropositivity for HIV was clearly found higher than in the
general corresponding population; this was particularly significant for
first hospitalisations; furthermore, the seropositivity became twice as
high in the group hospitalised several times. The HIV, known for
neurotropism, seems responsible for a psychic fragility factor,
favorising psychiatric breakdowns as well as their recurrences. No
specific psychiatric diagnosis appears to be related to the seropositive
patients. This study suggest that psychiatric breakdowns are already
favoured in the period preceeding immunodeficiency symptoms (AIDS or
ARC).
