Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome: Successful Treatment with Dantrolene and Bromocriptine.
By Amin H. Karim MD
1982: Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, Maryland. As a second year Internal Medicine Resident I encountered a patient with high fevers (as described in the article) After discussions and neurological consultations we came up with a plan of treatment that had never been tried before and it proved to be successful and the patient fully recovered.
The article was published in the Annals of Neurology Vol 14 No. 1 July 1983; It has been cited many times in the literature over the years. I presented it at the Young Investigator Conference of the American College of Medicine in 1983 and it was adjudged as the best presentation.
Dr. Barney J. Stern MD, Neurologist and Co-author of the article.
1983: With Dr. Allan Krumholz, Chief of Neurology at the Sinai Hospital of Baltimore.
