delusions are seen in delirium. no doubt about that .
delusions are not seen in OCD. if seen it wont be called OCD. it will come under one of psychosis categories.

I have met patients in delirum who are delusional.

ocd would be the right ans if there are psychotic features it would be considered as delusional disorder.
delirium is of 2 types the more florid hyper-active delirium with delusions( note these are semi-formed andfleeting and more due to overstimulation)
then the rare hypo- stimualted and often missed del.
but yes delusions do occur in delirium
