Abstract:
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, serious, and fatal adverse reaction to antipsychotics. This article reports a case of NMS caused by the concomitant use of multiple antipsychotics in a young female patient with mood disorders. This case reminds clinicians of the risk of NMS when multiple antipsychotics are given simultaneously, even in small doses. This article also discusses the risk factors, clinical manifestations, and treatment strategies of NMS,to suggest that clinicians should pay attention to the prevention, early recognition and intervention of NMS.
