N2  - Examples of fabrication of illness in children are described. Primarily uncomplicated cries for help are differentiated from two major subtypes (the Active Inducer and the Doctor Addict) which define the spectrum of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Primary differences involve the form of deception, age of the victim, and maternal affect. Five histories are presented and it is suggested that doctor addiction is more common than has thus far been recognized.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
