Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome: A Report of Two Cases

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is an acute, uncommon but life-threatening disease. We require more awareness of this disease, earlier diagnosis and more aggressive treatment can avoid mortality and decrease complications. This study, we report two cases of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, the first one admitted to nephrology ward for further treatment, the other was discharged from emergency department after adequate treatment. This study reminds us that if we can earlier diagnosis and more aggressive treatment of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, the hospitalization and complications will be reduced.
