  • Title: Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
    Author: Richardson GF.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1987 Jul; 36(1):119-23. PubMed ID: 3604845.
    Abstract:
    Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a form of child abuse associated with high morbidity and mortality. The physician is often an unwitting participant. If a child in generally good health suddenly shows signs of a severe illness, suspicion should be raised. Law enforcement and child protection agencies must be notified as soon as the diagnosis is established.
