Abstract:
Clozapine is a tricyclic dibenzodiazepine derivative that is classified as an "atypical" antipsychotic drug. A 25-year-old male was brought to a hospital emergency room following the ingestion of an estimated 20 100-mg tablets of clozapine. After several hours in the hospital, the patient died. The cause of death was listed as acute clozapine intoxication. It was also noted upon autopsy that the patient had an unusual eosinophilic myocarditis. The toxicological and pathological findings are presented in this report.
