A 78-year-old woman developed fulminant neuroleptic malignant syndrome complicated by pneumonia while taking olanzapine and levomepromazine. When the neuroleptic drugs were withdrawn she recovered however, when the combination was restarted later, because of severe agitation and hallucinations, the symptoms of neuroleptic malignant syndrome recurred (107).

Encephalopathic syndromes complicating treatment of stage II human African trypanosomiasis with melarsoprol in 588 patients have been reviewed (8). The overall rate of encephalopathy was 5.8% and presented in three ways coma, convulsions, and psychotic reactions. The overall death rate was 38%. Comatose patients had a death rate of 52% and were commonly co-infected with malaria (14/16). Symptoms during treatment of fever (RR = 11.5), headache (RR = 2.5), bullous eruptions (RR = 4.5), and systolic hypotension (RR = 2.6) were associated with an increased risk of encephalopathic syndromes, especially coma.

The broad-spectrum anthelmintic nitazoxanide has been undergoing efficacy trials in the USA for the treatment of EPM (Vatistas et al 1999). This drug is currently used to combat intestinal parasites of humans in developing countries and in patients with the acquired immimodeficiency syndrome complicated by secondary protozoal infections. Nitazoxanide is administered daily for 28 days as an oral paste. The side-effects of this drug are more serious than with other medications because it kills other parasites in addition to S. neurona. This has led to recommendations for deworming with another anthelmintic prior to starting this treatment (McClure Palma 1999). Nitazoxanide may also cause colic in treated horses.
