NMS is caused almost exclusively by antipsychotics, which includes all types of neuroleptic medicines along with newer antipsychotic drugs. The higher the dosage, the more common the occurrence. Rapid and large increases in dosage can also be attributed to the development of NMS.

The only treatment that can cure Wiskott Aldrich syndrome – WAS is a bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a BMT). A bone marrow or cord blood transplant replaces the abnormal cells in the bone marrow with healthy blood-forming cells from a family member or unrelated donor or cord blood unit. The healthy cells can come from the bone marrow or peripheral (circulating) blood of an adult donor or from the blood collected from the umbilical cord after a baby is born.
