N2  - Occasionally, in the medical literature, attempted or successful suicides during interferon therapy are reported. We report a case of a 32-year-old man who developed a psychotic syndrome with attempted suicide at the third month of treatment. The cessation of interferon and an appropriate psychiatric therapy determined a complete remission of symptoms. A medical literature review, through several computerized searches, showed a lack of research into the subject. The main conclusion of our article emphasizes the importance of recognizing the early neuropsychiatric symptoms, that are reversible at the cessation of treatment.<p /> <p>Language: it</p>
