Disease relevance of Alcohol Withdrawal Delirium

 

Psychiatry related information on Alcohol Withdrawal Delirium

  • 4. These findings suggest that the serotonergic and dopaminergic activity may vary depending on the severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms and the measurement of circadian variations in plasma 5HIAA and HVA levels could possibly be used as a predictor of hardly predictable alcohol withdrawal delirium [6].
  • Duration of alcohol abuse did not account for the observed metabolic changes; severity of delirium tremens, however, correlated significantly with the 5HIAA and to a lesser degree with the HVA level [7].
  • The major field of indication of benzodiazepine therapy is DSM-III anxiety disorders and insomnias but they may be successfully used in the treatment of manic conditions, schizophrenia, delirium tremens, clinical conditions accompanied by anxiety-depression, acute restlessness, neuroleptic-induced acute distonias, and akathisias [8].

Gene context of Alcohol Withdrawal Delirium

  • Polymorphisms in the NMDA subunit 2B are not associated with alcohol dependence and alcohol withdrawal-induced seizures and delirium tremens [22].
  • Previous studies have found an association between the A9 allele (nine-copy repeat) of the dopamine transporter (DAT) gene and two complications of alcohol withdrawal, namely delirium tremens (DT) and alcohol withdrawal seizures (AWS) [23].
  • In eight patients with a history of alcoholism (on average 9 years), cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate (AMP) and cyclic 3',5'-monophosphate (GMP) were determined in CSF in the acute untreated phase of delirium tremens and at 2 weeks later when clinical symptoms had vanished [17].
  • Patients having suffered from delirium tremens or alcohol hallucinosis showed greater Oddball P300 amplitudes than alcoholics with uncomplicated withdrawal syndrome [24].
  • Delirium tremens. Some clinical features. Part I [25].
