CARPHOLOGIA

Carphologia is a lint-picking behavior that is often a symptom of a delirious state.

Often seen in delirious or semiconscious patients, carphologia describes the actions of picking or grasping at imaginary objects, as well as the patient's own clothes or bed linens. This can be a grave symptom in cases of extreme exhaustion or approaching death.

Carphology and floccillation appear to be associated with both the hyper- and hypo- active delirium subtypes. The observed presence of these behaviours is likely to be a particularly useful diagnostic sign for the more easily overlooked hypo-active delirium.
