title: A case of perazine-induced enteritis--allergy or pseudoallergy?
abstract: Almost all adverse reactions to neuroleptic drugs in the gastro-intestinal system can be explained by their peripheral cholinergic blocking action with subsequent inhibition of intestinal tone and peristalsis. As a rare condition, severe diarrhoea due to enteritis may occur. A case with this complication is presented, the etiology and pathogenetic factors are discussed.
