  • Title: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
    Author: Connelly MA, Fowler EK.
    Journal: J Am Board Fam Pract; 1992; 5(3):327-31. PubMed ID: 1580180.
    Abstract:
    Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a relatively uncommon life-threatening disorder. The widespread use of the neuroleptic and psychotropic medications, however, makes it important for the primary care physician to understand the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and management of neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Early recognition should be possible. Rapid diagnosis followed by aggressive supportive care and specific pharmacologic therapy can be life saving.
