[ XXXX in male adolescents. I: Clinical findings].

@entity1 @entity308 @entity1278 @entity146
In six male @entity1 with @entity1278 (a.n.) we describe the anamnestic data, the course of disease and progress in therapy. We also present the results of psychological testing and organic investigations. The mean weight loss at the time of first investigation at the clinic was 70% of ideal body weight. The mean time between first symptoms of a.n. and the first admission at the clinic was 19 months. The psychopathological status showed in all six @entity1 symptoms of obsessive, in two @entity1 additional of @entity146 . This finding is in contradiction to the result in 61 female @entity1 with a.n., where hysteriformic and @entity308 symptoms predominated (36). The follow up time reached from 18 to 84 months (mean 49 months). At the time of last control-investigation we found only one @entity1 restored to health, two @entity1 showed a positive progression. In two @entity1 the @entity146 situation was nearly unchanged, one @entity1 committed suicide. The three @entity1 without positive therapeutic effect were three times respectively six times at the inpatient department and discontinued two times or also three times the psychotherapy. In our experience the course of disease in male @entity1 with a.n. seems to be more serious and more resistant to therapy than in female @entity1 .
