Delusional infestation remains a debilitating condition that is therapeutically challenging for clinicians. This case series identifies 23 patients with delusional infestation in an A ustralian setting. The majority of patients are women and unlikely to have a psychiatric comorbid background. The use of unnecessary anti‐parasitic medication is prevalent.
