title: [Delusions of skin infestations].
abstract: Delusion of skin-parasitosis is a very characteristic disorder, and it can appear as an independent syndrome or as a concomitant phenomenon of other psychiatric illnesses. Like most delusional formations it can also be induced and appear as a symbiontic psychosis; the involutional age seems to be an essential precondition for this psychopathological phenomenon.
