Clozapine-induced agranulocytosis is documented in multiple studies, but there is limited literature on treatment-resistant agranulocytosis, the synergistic effect of multiple agranulocytosis-inducing drugs, and lithium's promyelocytic effects. This case highlights these gaps by discussing a patient with an absolute neutrophil count of zero while being treated with Depakote, Haldol, and clozapine. This case proposes more research on lithium's promyelocytic effects, especially in patients who are unresponsive or have a delayed response to discontinuing offending agents and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF).

Clozapine-induced fever marks the beginning of its inflammatory and potentially life-threatening adverse effects, such as myocarditis. We retrospectively analyzed the correlation between clozapine titration rate and fever onset date in 254 Japanese patients, including 55 with treatment-resistant schizophrenia who developed clozapine-induced fever. Pearson's product-moment correlation indicated a significant delay in the fever onset date with slower titration.

Identifying genetic variations contributing to CIA would help predict patient risk of developing CIA and personalize treatment.
