Abstract
In an 18-month prospective assessment of 679 hospitalized, neuroleptic-treated patients, the authors, using previously defined operational criteria, diagnosed neuroleptic malignant syndrome in six cases (0.9%). This supports their earlier finding that the syndrome appeared in about 1% of neuroleptic-treated patients.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
