Özet

Leucopenia and neutropenia could be side effects of anti-psychotic drugs, especially clozapine. However, there is evidence that other anti-psychotics can cause leucopenia and neutropenia. We present the clinical follow-up and treatment process of a patient, who had initially developed quetiapine and amisulpride related neutropenia, but not with aripiprazole.
