[Fever caused by neuroleptics].
If fever arises in patients using neuroleptic drugs, it is possible that the fever is an adverse reaction to the drug. Two cases are reported of patients who developed fever to neuroleptic agents. In one patient it probably concerned a reaction to the solvent of the sustained-action preparation of the drug. The other patient developed fever probably as part of the neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
