  • Title: Pericarditis and polyserositis as a side effect of clozapine in an adolescent girl.
    Author: Branik E, Nitschke M.
    Journal: J Child Adolesc Psychopharmacol; 2004; 14(2):311-4. PubMed ID: 15319027.
    Abstract:
    A case report describes an adolescent girl with a treatment-resistant bipolar disorder, who developed pericarditis and polyserositis while being treated with clozapine. The sparse literature about this rare, severe side effect of clozapine is discussed. Clinical recommendations with regard to monitoring are given. If myocarditis/polyserositis occurs, clozapine has to be discontinued immediately.
