title: Clozapine effectiveness in a psychiatric service in Italy.
abstract: Clozapine was administered to 28 resistant schizophrenics at psychiatric services in Bologna. At 26 weeks 62% responded. Positive and negative symptoms improved, but decrease of negative symptoms partially depended upon improvement of positive and EPS. No cases of agranulocytosis were seen. Some drop-outs were related to difficulties with psychopathological improvement.
