'FOLIE A DEUX': (A Case Report from Kenya).

The author presents the first case report of folie a deux from Saharan Africa. The clinical presentation of this disorder in Africa does not significantly differ from those reported elsewhere. But cultural factors like superstitions and witchcraft play an important role in the management of these patients. In the author's view, cooperation with the traditional healer with simultaneous administration of modern drugs may be the ideal way to treat such patients.
