Patients suffering from Covid-19 often have leukopenia, most often lymphopenia, as an accompanying laboratory manifestation of the clinical syndrome, but there are indications that at the beginning of the disease they also have mild neutropenia. Clozapine can have hematological side effects in terms of leukopenia - most often neutropenia. The paper presents a patient with schizophrenia who is on long-term Clozapine therapy. At the time when leukopenia was detected in the blood count, he was mentally stable and physically asymptomatic. He had a reduced number of leukocytes as the only symptom of infection with the new coronavirus SARS CoV 2, which we confirmed by PCR. In this paper, we present the clinical picture of COVID-19 in connection with the possible overlapping etiology of leukopenia, which can also appear as a separate symptom of infection with the SARS CoV 2 coronavirus and be a hematological side effect of Clozapine treatment.

Background/Aim: Nowadays, adolescents are exposed to some negative challenges. Bullying is one of the horrible phenomena that can be seen in the physical and mental harassment of children and teenagers. Another challenge is addiction to computer games as well as writing on social networks. Gambling addiction, habituation and exposure to psychostimulants are also a trap for causing severe pathology. The aim of this study was to present an insight into the possible challenges of today to which adolescents are exposed and how they affect their personality and maturation. Methods: The authors collected data and materials on the mentioned topics from their daily medical work. They also used articles in professional magazines and newspapers and television shows. Results: Society must make efforts to eradicate such events in schools. We are witnessing various challenges and pitfalls that affect youth, society, culture and civilisation. Among the bad things, drug addiction, alcoholism, smoking, addiction to the Internet and computer games are in the first place. Conclusion: Due to negative challenges, the youth neglect their schoolwork and duties. The school environment can be a place for violent behaviour, brachial attacks (bullying and harassment). Recognising social interactions, family relationships and understanding the underlying psychiatric conditions which may be associated with risky behaviour in adolescents could be essential for treatment planning.
