  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Ekbom’s syndrome is a rare monothematic systematized chronic delirium which can appear at any age but most often quite late in life. We describe a case observed in Lomé (Togo). Clinical Vignette: Mrs Y, a 79-year-old widowed retired teacher, consulted us because she had been suffering from the sensation of insects coming out of her body and pruritus for six years. The patient complained of loneliness. The diagnosis of Ekbom syndrome associated with a depressive disorder in an elderly subject was accepted. Conclusion: Ekbom syndrome is a rare and ubiquitous disease that is also present in Togo and requires multidisciplinary management.
