Resumen

Tres adolescentes y dos pacientes adultos que sufrían psicosis crónicas con excitación (esquizofrenia o trastorno esquizoafectivo) resistentes a los neurolépticos tradicionales y a la clozapina recibieron tratamiento con una combinación de clozapina y litio. La mejoría se evaluó con la Escala de Síntomas Positivos y Negativos, la Escala de Evaluación Psiquiátrica Breve y las Impresiones Clínicas Globales, administradas antes y durante el tratamiento combinado de clozapina y litio. Todos los pacientes demostraron una mejoría significativa con esta combinación. No se produjo agranulocitosis, síndrome neuroléptico maligno u otros efectos adversos significativos clínicamente.
