Abstract
The present article analyzes the contribution of neurologist and neuropsychiatrist Antonio Austregésilo (1876-1960) for the psychopathological study and systematization of so-called infectious psychoses in Brazil. Based on Emil Kraepelin and using clinical observations on global and tropical infectious diseases, Austregésilo built detailed clinical knowledge and took part in the debate on etiology, specificities of causal factors and the course of the disease, which is located on the edge between infectious physical diseases and mental disorders.
