Popis: Introduction Current studies indicate the involvement of inflammation in the pathogenesis of chronic non-infectious diseases, and therefore it is of interest to study the role of inflammation markers in non-psychotic mental disorders (NPMD). Objectives To identify a number of inflammatory markers in serum of patients with NPMD. Methods 73 patients with NPMD were examined (F43.2; F06.6). The comparison group consisted of 76 patients with endogenous psychosis (EGP) (F20.0; F25.0). The control group included 80 healthy people. The serum activity of leukocyte elastase (LE), α1-proteinase inhibitor (α1-PI) and the level of autoantibodies (aAb) to neuroantigens were determined. Results Three groups of patients with different variants of inflammatory response to the pathological process were identified. In group 1 (23.3%), all indices corresponded to the control values, which indicated the absence of the pathological process in brain. In group 2, there was a significant increase in activity both LE and α1-PI compared to control (p
