With respect to pharmacological treatment, no standard therapy has been established yet (Soyka et al ., 2008 ). [academic.oup.com]

The prognosis tends to be favourable, although especially untreated cases are associated with a considerable mortality risk. [ntvg.nl]

In addition, none of the 40 patients recovered spontaneously within the 2 weeks although the prognosis is usually good (Glass, 1989b ). This may again raise the question whether some patients with schizophrenia might have been included. [academic.oup.com]

The biggest difference between alcoholic hallucinosis and delirium tremens is that alcoholic hallucinosis have a much better prognosis than DTs. [9] Moreover, delirium tremens can be fatal when untreated. [5] Treatment [ edit ] In general, alcohol abusers [en.wikipedia.org]

A few specific questions on this study raise some concern: Epidemiology : There is broad consensus that alcohol hallucinosis is a rare disorder (Tsuang et al ., 1994 ). [academic.oup.com]

The pathophysiology is basically unclear. We report the case of a 48-year-old, never-medicated, long-term alcoholic suffering from alcohol hallucinosis with pure acoustic hallucinations for at least six months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pathophysiology of alcohol hallucinosis is not clear (Soyka, 1995 ; Soyka et al ., 2000a ). There is no evidence for a common genetic basis for alcohol psychosis and schizophrenia (Glass, 1989a ). [academic.oup.com]

The pathophysiology of alcohol hallucinosis is only partly understood. The gamma-amino-butyric-acid(GABA)-ergic pathways would seem to be involved, and neuroimaging studies also suggest an involvement of the thalamus and frontal lobes. [ntvg.nl]

For example, a conceptual and pathophysiological kinship has been suggested between alcoholic hallucinosis and paraphrenia and between alcoholic hallucinosis and involutional depression. [hallucinations.enacademic.com]
