精神病症状与其他冠状病毒感染有关。我们进行了一项单中心的回顾性和观察性研究，以描述新冠肺炎患者中新发的精神病发作。10名感染新型冠状病毒的患者有精神病症状，以前没有精神病病史，由急诊和联络精神病科确认。其中9名患者在新冠肺炎首次出现躯体症状并接受药物治疗至少两周后出现精神病症状。最常见的临床表现是结构性妄想和混淆特征混合。因此，新冠肺炎患者可能会由于多种并发因素而出现精神病症状。
Psychotic symptoms have been related to other coronavirus infections. We conducted a single-centre retrospective and observational study to describe new-onset psychotic episodes in COVID-19 patients. Ten patients infected by the novel coronavirus with psychotic symptoms and no previous history of psychosis were identified by the emergency and liaison psychiatry departments. Nine of the cases presented with psychotic symptoms at least two weeks after the first somatic manifestations attributed to COVID-19 and receiving pharmacological treatment. Structured delusions mixed with confusional features were the most frequent clinical presentations. Hence, COVID-19 patients can develop psychotic symptoms as a consequence of multiple concurrent factors.
