Delusions of parasitosis: differential diagnosis and treatment.

G C Johnson, R F Anton.   

Abstract

Delusions of parasitosis, or a patient's persistent belief that he has cutaneous invasion by parasites despite medical evidence to the contrary, is an uncommon syndrome associated with a wide variety of medical and psychiatric disorders. Its prognosis has been improved considerably by the introduction of pimozide, a potent neuroleptic agent.
