I was not laughing earlier but now I really want to. Dude you don't just go around dividing disease names and inferring their meaning. Delusional Parasitosis means the condition where a person is under a delusion that he/she is suffering from a parasitic disease. It is not half delusion and half parasitic in origin. It doesn't work like that. Period.
As far as it being treated well. It has been treated well by giving people antipsychotics. Antipsychotics have NO Anti-Parasitic or Antibiotic or Antiviral characteristics. These drugs are stabilising the thoughts of these patients thus treating their misconceptions of having a disease and are not acting against any disease causing organism. Why don't you check with your "friends at RIMS and AIIMS" as to what they think about delusional parasitosis and antipsychotics.
