Disturbances of thermoregulation are a well-known side effect of neuroleptic treatment, especially hyperthermia. Hypothermia can occur also during treatment with neuroleptics. Now hypothermia is more and more due to atypical neuroleptics in relation to 5-HT antagonism. We report the case of a patient (92 years) suffering from dementia with a hypothermia during treatment with aripiprazole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
