abstract: Otolaryngologists in India often encounter patients with various insects presenting as foreign bodies in the ear and nose. However they overlook the possibility of the clinical entity that has come to be known as delusional parasitosis. Three patients presented in our OPD with this condition and their case reports are discussed.
