Abstract

The high incidence of brief schizophrenia-like psychosis in developing countries is well documented in the literature. This paper presents two cases of bouffée délirante found in Jamaican adolescent sibs who had recently immigrated to Canada and discusses the importance of accurate diagnosis, in view of prognosis and treatment, for this disorder.
