Delusional parasitosis - Wikipedia
Karl-Axel Ekbom, a Swedish neurologist, first described delusional parasitosis as "pre-senile delusion of infestation" in 1937. [1] The common name has changed many times since then. Ekbom originally used the German word dermatozoenwahn, but other countries used the term Ekbom's syndrome.
Ekbom syndrome (ES) is the clinical term for what is popularly known as delusions of parasitosis or delusory parasitosis, eponymously named for Karl A. Ekbom, the Swedish neurologist who provided a definitive description of the condition in his 1938 paper [1]. It should not be confused with Wittmaack-Ekbom syndrome, which is restless legs syndrome.
