摘要：

This case describes delusions of vampirism among several other psychotic symptoms in a 15-year-old who has a diagnosis of schizophrenia, with these delusions first presenting when he was 13 years of age. Delusions of vampirism can be associated with a strong desire to suck human blood but these delusional beliefs were not acted upon here. This is the first report of delusions of vampirism in childhood to date. The introduction of the antipsychotic medication clozapine after failed treatment trials with two other antipsychotic agents has been associated with a significant amelioration in symptomatology and an improvement in functioning.
