    This article highlights the case of a 44-year old Malay man who is diagnosed as having treatment resistant schizophrenia on Clozapine, which then developed Polycythemia Rubra Vera (PRV). It is known that a major side effect for Clozapine is of agranulocytosis, that is a potentially fatal side effect. However, there have been reported disturbances of other hematological parameters, which result in other abnormalities including leucopenia, leucocytosis, thrombocytopenia, thrombocytosis and eosinophilia. Could this case be a pure medical condition of PRV or is there a relation to the effects of Clozapine? In this paper, the aim is to report a case of blood dyscrasia in a 44-year old male who developed Polycythemia Rubra Vera a year after he was observed to have abnormal full blood count results.
