There is a danger of misdiagnosing infections of G.<unk>  as delusional parasitosis. Diagnosis is often made by visible recognition of the worm moving through the tissue of the buccal cavity by either patient or doctor. Also, recovery of worm from patient is also a diagnostic technique. Microscopic identification of worm removed from patient’s mouth or tissue is another diagnostic technique for determining the parasite infection.
