9/2/2007 Mass psychosis of Chechen children from Chechnya turned out to be poisoning
It has become known to the correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot" that at the sanatorium "Nart" in the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria, a group of children from the Chechen Republic has undergone treatment from an unknown illness diagnosed in them earlier. This was already the second group of children from Chechnya.
Elena Shelchenko, the head physician of the sanatorium "Nart," has told the correspondent of the "Caucasian Knot" that the following symptoms were observed in children: weakness, fever, asphyxia and faints. Sometimes - hysterics, acute cramp and convulsions. Frequently - hallucinations, numbness of extremities, nasal bleeding. During the attacks, suicide attempts were observed.
Some children were examined at the Serbskiy Institute of Forensic Psychiatry and diagnosed as "mass psychosis."
After a careful examination of the children, the doctors came to the conclusion that the case was chronic intoxication of organism with a dominating defeat of the gastrointestinal tract and liver (in 35 children, chronic cholecystitis and toxic hepatitis were identified), and diffused liver changes.
