摘要
Background: How to best treat psychotic patients who have had past clozapine-induced agranulocytosis or granulocytopenia remains a problem. Case reports: We report 3 patients with chronic schizophrenia who had previously stopped clozapine due to hematologic side effects. The patients evidenced improvement with olanzapine that equated to 16- to 31-point decreases in rating scale scores during I-year follow-up without any hematologic abnormalities. Conclusion: The results suggest that olanzapine may be useful in treating patients with clozapine-induced granulocytopenia without the risk of recurrence of hematologic side effects.
