【 摘 要 】

Delusional parasitosis is a rare psychiatric disorder. Development of this condition as an induced delusional disorder among all family members (folie à famille) is even rarer. A family of three members developed folie à famille, and it was successfully treated with a second generation antipsychotic and geographical separation. Myths, stigma regarding psychiatric disorders and misdiagnosis are management challenges highlighted in this case report.
