Delusional parasitosis: folie à deux and attempted murder of a family doctor.

A 58-year-old woman suffering from delusional parasitosis tried to kill her general practitioner. Her husband shared in her beliefs but lost all delusional conviction after she was compulsorily admitted to a special hospital. The case illustrates the intractable nature and potential dangerousness of some of these cases, and their affinity to paranoia.

[Fluvoxamine. Study of treatment effect on a group of 189 hospitalized patients with depression].

The study of a sample of 189 inpatients with the diagnostic of Major Depressive Disorder (DSM III-R) treated with fluvoxamine showed: a good compromise efficacy/tolerance in 75% of cases; an interruption of treatment in 25% of cases, schematically divided in early gastric intolerance and in late resistance. 2.5% of manic switches have been observed and contribued, with this pattern of good results, to confirm the major antidepressant activity and good tolerance of fluvoxamine.
