Abstract
The author made, for a more or less long time, an examination of the urine for sugar in 194 alcoholics. He divided all his patients into 3 groups; he attributed 99 cases of delirium potatorium to the first; to the 2nd—26 cases of delirium pototorium abortivum, in which delusional phenomena were expressed to a slight degree, and finally to the 3rd—69 cases of alcoholismus chronicus without delirium.
The presence of sugar in the urine was noted in 30% of cases of the 1st group - delirium potatorium, in 14% - of delirium potatorium obortivum and in 30.4% of cases of the 3rd group - alcoholi'smus chronicus.
Analyzing the data obtained by him, the author notes that in alcoholic delirium, glucosuria is not always “post delirious” (postdeliriöse Glykosurie), as Vaitapp claims. So, in 2/3 of patients belonging to the 1st group, the presence of sugar was detected some time before the onset of the crisis.
The amount of sugar fluctuated between 0.2% and 0.4%, only in 4 cases was more than 0.5%.

Авторъ производилъ въ теченіе болѣе или менѣе продолжительнаго времени изслѣдованіе мочи на сахаръ у 194 алкоголиковъ. Всѣхъ своихъ больныхъ онъ раздѣлилъ на 3 группы; къ первой онъ отнесъ 99 случаевъ delirium potatorium; ко 2-й—26 случаевъ delirium pototorium abortivum, въ которыхъ бредовыя явленія были выражены въ слабой степени, и наконецъ къ 3-й— 69 случаевъ alcoholismus chronicus безъ бреда.
Присутствіе сахара въ мочѣ было констатировано въ 30% случаевъ 1-й группы—delirium potatorium, въ 14%— delirium potatorium obortivum и въ 30,4% случаевъ 3-й группы—alcoholi’smus chronicus.
Анализируя полученныя имъ данныя, авторъ отмѣчаетъ, что при алкогольномъ бредѣ глюкозурія не всегда является „ послѣбредовой» (postdeliriöse Glykosurie), какъ это утверждаетъ Ваітапп. Такъ, у 2/3 больныхъ, относящихся къ 1-й группѣ, присутствіе сахара было обнаружено еще за нѣкоторое время до наступленія кризиса.
Количество сахара колебалось между 0,2% и 0,4%, только въ 4 случаяхъ было болѣе 0,5%.
