Cocaína y síndrome de Ekbom: a propósito de un caso

Abstract

Delusional infestation is a psycho-cutaneous disorder in which sufferers have a fixed belief of parasitization.

A case report of a woman diagnosed with delusional infestation secondary to cocaine use is presented, with a good clinical response to treatment with olanzapine. For the treatment of delusional infestation, multidisciplinary work with psychiatry is essential, as well as the establishment of a strong therapeutic rapport with the patient.
