Clozapine-induced fever marks the beginning of its inflammatory and potentially life-threatening adverse effects, such as myocarditis. We retrospectively analyzed the correlation between clozapine titration rate and fever onset date in 254 Japanese patients, including 55 with treatment-resistant schizophrenia who developed clozapine-induced fever. Pearson's product-moment correlation indicated a significant delay in the fever onset date with slower titration. Most fever onset cases occurred within 4 weeks, even with slow titration. Therefore, clinicians should remain vigilant in monitoring clozapine-induced fever within 4 weeks of clozapine initiation, regardless of the titration rate.
