English abstract:
      The purpose of this paper is to report a case of neuroleptic malignant syndrome treated by hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis, so as to provide references for clinical diagnosis and treatment. A 31-year-old male with schizophrenia who presented with fever, disturbance of consciousness, increased muscle tone and elevated creatine kinase level after 11 days of antipsychotic treatment was diagnosed as neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis was performed twice following antipsychotic drug withdrawal and symptomatic treatment, then the patient regained clear consciousness after 18 hours of rescue and was discharged after 5 days of treatment.
