Clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic, is the most effective medication for treatment-resistant schizophrenia, but its use is limited by the high risk of neutropenia and agranulocytosis. In children, the rate of clozapine-induced neutropenia is even higher than in adults. We report two cases of children 7- and 12-years old diagnosed with very early onset schizophrenia, who developed neutropenia when treated with clozapine. In both cases addition of lithium carbonate elevated the white blood count (WBC) allowing clozapine rechallenge. WBC and total neutrophil count remained stable long-term with coadministration of clozapine (400-425 mg per day) and lithium with the blood level of 0.8-1.1 microg/mL. This report supports the use of adjunct lithium for clozapine-induced neutropenia as a safe and successful strategy in children.
