TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Munchausen syndrome presenting as hemophilia: a convenient and economical "steal" of disease and treatment JO - Pediatric hematology and oncology A1 - Ayass, M.

A1 - Mehta, Purnima SP - 241 EP - 244 VL - 10 IS - 3 N2 - Munchausen's syndrome and Munchausen's syndrome by proxy (MSBP) can cause many conditions, including bleeding problems, seizures, failure to thrive and others. We report here an unusual case in which a mother presented to the hospital for her hemophiliac son's failure to thrive, subsequently for her own self-inflected mutilating wounds, and finally for self-induced simulation of her son's hemophiliac bleeding and arthritic complications.
