Patients taking clozapine who develop neutroapaenia during COVID-19 infection should be investigated and monitored as in normal practice, because changes in neutrophil counts cannot be assumed to be due to the viral infection. Patients taking clozapine who develop neutroapaenia during COVID-19 infection should be investigated and monitored as in normal practice, because changes in neutrophil counts cannot be assumed to be due to the viral infection. This case series shows that no statistically significant change in ANC occurred in patients taking clozapine who tested positive for the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 infection does not appear to cause a significant or prolonged neutropaenia in patients taking clozapine.	./cache/cord-275675-gzd75ks9.txt	./txt/cord-275675-gzd75ks9.txt
