Extract

Blood copper had been known to be increased in pregnancy, chronic infections and neoplasms. Since the publication of Ullrich in 1942 (9), who found an increased copper level in the blood of schizophrenics, the hypercupraemia has been recognized as possibly significant and pathognomonic in this disease. Therefore during the following years a few investigators studied this aspect and also tried to prove the implications of this fact.
