Clozapine is one of the atypical antipsychotics and is frequently prescribed to patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Agranulocytosis is a major side effect that may lead to death, which limits its use. This is a case report of a patient that developed febrile neutropenia and cellulitis after treatment with clozapine for 20 weeks.
