L L Toĭtman, and O L Toĭtman

In Jewish Autonomous Province an investigation of epilepsy was performed, including all the patients that lived on this territory. 547 epileptic patients were defected, that was 2.9 cases per 1000 of the population. Estimation of the patients was performed using 65 standard signs. The data were received concerning prevalence of epilepsy in the region, sex-age structure of the patients, clinical manifestations of the disease and other parameters. Special attention was paid to clinical-genetic aspects of epilepsy. The data received are important for carrying out a clinical examination and for differential rehabilitation of the patients, for planning medical prophylaxis measures as well as for medical-genetic consultative service.
