Abstract
Delusional infestation has been described since 1894. The variety of treatments of delusional infestation has been administered in different atypical antipsychotic agents. Here, we present a case of first treatment with lurasidone on the delusional infestation in a 68-year-old female with vascular dementia, and the literature reviews of the related delusion infestation management.
