  • Title: Iatrogenic delusional parasitosis: a case of physician-patient folie a deux.
    Author: Bury JE, Bostwick JM.
    Journal: Gen Hosp Psychiatry; 2010; 32(2):210-2. PubMed ID: 20302996.
    Abstract:
    This report presents a patient incorrectly diagnosed first with parasitic infestation and then with primary delusional parasitosis (DP). Neither diagnosis was correct. As she traveled from doctor to doctor, however, the primary DP label gained credibility via repetition, with her ongoing symptoms seen as proof of its truth.
