摘要

Delusional parasitosis is a rare psycho-dermatological disorder that lacks standard management guidelines. We report a case of an elderly woman with long standing multiple dermatological illnesses who later developed delusional parasitosis. We highlight the pertinent diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We support multidisciplinary collaborative care combining effective pharmacotherapy with efficient non-pharmacological measures.
