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.
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.
The study of the relationship between 198 plasmatic fluvoxamine dosages and posology has been done on a sample of 80 inpatients. It shows that plasmatic levels increase proportionally with posology p.o. In contrast, plasmatic levels seem to be independent from weight and age of inpatients.
