ABSTRACT
In this article an inpatient case of The Mental Hospital in Zurawica was described, in which first qualitative disorders of consciousness, later a paranoid syndrome and a depressive syndrome preceded diagnosis of Lyme Borreliosis. After the therapy that was applied we observed residual organic mood disorders in the patient. Below, authors demonstrate one of the many clinical situations, where the appearance of polymorphic mental disorders preceded the appearance of a somatic disease.

Patients with viral infection of the central nervous system are often difficult to establish the correct diagnosis. This paper presents our knowledge of herpes simplex encephalitis and a case report of 25-year-old woman. In this case paranoid syndrome preceded viral encephalitis. We established that the presence of mental abnormalities could go before encephalitis or could dominate in symptomatology of encephalitis.
