title: Quetiapine monotherapy in bipolar I disorder: a 1-year stabilization in a woman having undergone bone marrow transplantation.
abstract: Queatiapine has been used in bipolar mania and most recently in bipolar depression with good results; however, its use in maintenance treatment has not been established yet. A case of a woman suffering from bipolar I disorder who underwent bone marrow transplantation twice because of leukaemia is presented. The use of quetiapine as a monotherapy was efficient and safe and proved to be a good treatment in mood stabilization for 1 year.
