Abstract
Concentrations of serum clozapine, C-reactive protein (CRP) and alpha1 acid glycoprotein were greatly increased during a bacterial pneumonia in a 53-year-old woman. As the pneumonia subsided, and CRP and alpha1 acid glycoprotein normalised, serum clozapine concentration also decreased to the previous level. An increased serum clozapine and a lowered N-desmethylclozapine to clozapine ratio during the infection suggest a decreased cytochrome P(450) (CYP)1A2 activity. Cytokine-mediated CYP1A2 suppression is discussed.Entities:
