Abstract

Delusional parasitosis is a rare disorder characterized by delayed admission to psychiatry clinic. This leads to time lags in diagnosis and treatment. Here we describe a woman diagnosed as organic delusional parasitosis secondary to her comorbid diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hypothyroidism. Treatment with low dose risperidone was found to be effective in a short span of time. This case is noteworthy as it emphasizes the importance of consultation-liaison psychiatry in the management of delusional parasitosis

Özet

Delüzyonel parazitoz nadir görülen, psikiyatriye geç başvuru nedeniyle tanı ve tedavide gecikme ile karakterize bir bozukluktur. Olgumuzda diyabet, hipertansiyon ve hipotiroidisi olan kadın hastada ikincil organik delüzyonel parazitoz tanısı düşünülmüş ve uygulanan risperidon tedavisine kısa sürede yanıt alınmıştır. Bu olgu, delüzyonel parazitozun ele alınmasında konsültasyon liyezon psikiyatrisi yaklaşımlarının önemini vurgulaması açısından dikkat çekicidir
