Abstract

The authors report a case of delusional infestation in a 45 year-old woman seen in an out-patient setting. A review of published literature about this disorder and its nosological classification over different historical periods and by different authors is performed. Difficulties in separation of the delusion and hallucination symptoms in body phenomena are discussed.
