Resumo: Delusional of parasitosis, also known as Ekbom’s syndrome, is a psychiatric disorder in which the patient has a fixed and false belief that one is infested by insects, worms or other small animals. It can lead to local injury by attempting mechanical extraction, as well searching for doctors and dermatologists, who often use drugs that have no efficacy. Due to its rarity, the present study brings a case report of this disorder in an elderly male patient without psychiatric comorbidity who presented remission with Risperidone. This study is based on a database that includes journal articles, case reports, compendium of psychiatry and sources of pharmacology.

Pode chegar a provocar irritação ou lesão local pela tentativa de extração mecânica, além da procura por médicos clínicos e dermatologistas, os quais com frequência utilizam fármacos que não tem eficácia. Devido sua raridade, o presente estudo tem por objetivo relatar um caso deste transtorno em um paciente idoso, do sexo masculino, sem comorbidade psiquiátrica, que apresentou remissão com uso de risperidona. Este estudo se fundamenta em uma base de dados que inclui artigos de periódicos, relatos de casos, compêndio de psiquiatria e fontes de farmacologia.Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria2018-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/31610.25118/2763-9037.2018.v8.316Debates in Psychiatry; Vol. 8 No. 3 (2018); 27-29Debates em Psiquiatria; Vol. 8 Núm. 3 (2018); 27-29Debates em Psiquiatria; v. 8 n. 3 (2018); 27-292763-90372236-918Xreponame:Debates em Psiquiatria (Online)instname:Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)instacron:ABPporhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/article/view/316/285https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTeixeira , Pedro LautenschlagerMarim , JulianaMizukami , Melissa Yuri2022-08-21T22:45:25Zoai:ojs.emnuvens.com.br:article/316Revistahttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oaiPUBhttps://revistardp.org.br/revista/oairdp@abp.org.br2763-90372236-918Xopendoar:2022-08-21T22:45:25Debates em Psiquiatria (Online) - Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria (ABP)false
