title: A circulating lupus-like coagulation inhibitor induced by chlorpromazine.
abstract: A variety of immune phenomena have been associated with chlorpromazine. One such factor, the lupus-like anticoagulant, while nonspecific, has been reported in 26 to 75% of chronic chlorpromazine recipients, although the exact incidence is unknown and requires further investigation. Such patients may have an enhanced risk of bleeding profiles (hemophilia-like) or, conversely, thrombotic events. A case of such a lupus-like anticoagulant with a circulating inactivator of coagulation is discussed in light of the recent literature.
