English abstract:
      The purpose of this paper was to discuss the clinical features of Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome( NMS) caused by atypical antipsychotics, and to provide references for early clinical diagnosis and treatment. NMS is a kind of severe adverse drug reactions and it is usually caused by antipsychotics use. Almost all kinds of antipsychotics could cause NMS. Compared with NMS caused by typical antipsychotics, NMS caused by atypical antipsychotics shows lower incidence, lower clinical severity and lower mortality rate. The clinical presentation of NMS induced by different kinds of atypical antipsychotics seems different. Particular attention should be paid to NMS elderly patients and NMS patients who are receiving antidepressant drugs as these factors might increase the risk of death.
