Özet

Purpose: Atypical antipsychotics (AAPs) are used as adjunct therapy in the treatment of resistant obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCSs). Paradoxically other reports suggest that AAPs, particularly clozapine, risperidone, and olanzapine can induce de novo emergence or exacerbation of OCSs in psychotic patients. The authors present here the first report suggesting an association between de novo appearance of OCSs and quetiapine treatment in a schizophrenic patient.
