About this ebook
I went to several doctors for five years with skin lesions. Nobody beleived me. They called me Delusional. Dr. Uppal figured it out, treated me and I am better now after so many years. Dr. Uppal saved my life.
- Andronikki Rios
The book is based on my practice of Infectious diseases and discovery of a new parasitic disease referred to as Morgellons Disease. My experience made me realize the dilemmas of the recognition of the disease in the medical community and social implication. It made me understand how it may be spreading in United States and how it may be prevented as a Public Health issue. Hence to bring this awareness to the public and healthcare providers I was compelled to write this book.
A 40 years old woman comes to my office with sores all over body. Complains of crawling sensations and itching. States she sees threads coming out of her body. She grabs the hand sanitizer and rubs on her belly and tries to bring out stuff. She has been diagnosed with delusional parasitosis. But in talking to her she is an extremely intelligent woman. So I decide to investigate and what I have discovered is in this book.
What led me to write this book is that I can educate the people with the disease, their families and caretakers that have to deal with these patients and the health care professionals that are looking for some answers unraveled a mysterious Disease, that has baffled the smartest of physicians.

A 40 years old woman comes to my office with sores all over body. Complains of crawling sensations and itching. States she sees threads coming out of her body.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A 32 years old woman came to my office with her husband. Her face and arms were covered with scabs. She was crying. She had been checked by several doctors and was told she was ‘CRAZY’.
I saw her and realized that was not true. She was sick. And she said believe me I am sick
She had been admitted to several psychiatric hospitals and was put on several antipsychotic medications with no relief. I admitted her in a community hospital and started her on treatment. Patient’s symptoms started to resolve. I had a covering doctor on the weekend, who was a board-certified infectious Disease physician, she came and saw the patient and diagnosed her with ‘Delusional Parasitosis ‘ and called for a psychiatric consult. When I came to see the patient on Monday morning I was told that the patient had signed out AMA ( against Medivcal advise)
That led me to write this book is that I can educate the people with the disease, their families and caretakers that have to deal with these patients and the health care professionals that are looking for some answers unraveled a mysterious Disease, that has baffled the smartest of physicians. See how the pets can transmit parasites which may not be identified by your healthcare provider, and you could be deemed ‘DELUSIONAL’
