Background: Schizophrenia (SCZ) shares high clinical relevance with the immune system, and the potential interactions of psychopharmacological drugs with the immune system are still an overlooked area. Here, we aimed to identify whether the second-generation antipsychotics (SGA) monotherapy or combined therapy of SGA with other psychiatric medications influence the routine blood immunity biomarkers of patients with SCZ.
Methods: Medical records of inpatients with SCZ from January 2019 to June 2023 were retrospectively screened from June 2023 to August 2023.
