Abstract
Delusional parasitosis (DP) is a psychiatric disorder that presents with the belief that the body and/or intimate environment is infested with parasites. In primary DP, the delusions experienced are related solely to the parasitosis with no other signs of mental illness. In secondary DP, another disorder is the cause of the delusions, such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. We report a case of secondary DP successfully treated with quetiapine in our community mental health center.
