Abstract

After 9 days of risperidone therapy (2-6 mg/day), a 24-year-old schizophrenic female patient developed a leucopenia with neutropenia < 1000/mm3. A few days after starting the neuroleptic treatment, she suffered from a cold, without fever. All immunological tests performed yielded negative results except for influenza B virus. The cessation of the risperidone therapy was followed within 48 h by a normalisation of the WBC differential count. Therefore, in the absence of a rechallenge with risperidone for ethical reasons, it cannot be excluded that risperidone represents at least a partial cause of the observed neutropenia.
