“…According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5) [ 5 ], a diagnosis of NMS requires exposure to a dopamine-blocking agent, severe muscular rigidity, fever, and at least two of the minor criteria: diaphoresis, dysphagia, tremor, incontinence, altered level of consciousness, mutism, tachycardia, elevated or labile blood pressure, leucocytosis, and elevated CPK (Table 2 ).
