Delusional parasitosis is characterized by the false idea that own body is infested by invisible mites, insects, or other parasites. This case report describes a 24-year-old woman with delusional parasitosis who was treated with ziprasidone monotherapy (120 mg/day) with a complete remission of delusion and followed for one year without symptom recurrences. These findings, although preliminary, indicate that further investigation of ziprasidone monotherapy for the treatment of delusional parasitosis is warranted in further trials.
妄想性寄生虫病的特征是错误地认为自己的身体被看不见的螨虫、昆虫或其他寄生虫感染。本病例报告描述了一名患有妄想性寄生虫病的24岁女性,她接受了齐拉西酮单药治疗(120毫克/天),妄想完全缓解,随访一年无症状复发。这些发现虽然是初步的,但表明在进一步的试验中,有必要对齐拉西酮单药治疗妄想性寄生虫病进行进一步研究。
