[A new variant of Munchausen's syndrome by proxy: the father in an active role].
The case is described of an eleven-year-old boy with abdominal pain and hematuria. The hematuria appears to be fabricated by the father of the boy by adding cooked meat to the urine samples. The medical history of the father is very suspect for the Münchhausen syndrome. The case of the son differs in some respects from the normal pattern of the Münchhausen by proxy syndrome: the age of the son, the role of the father as active inducer and the low social class of the family.
