title: [A case of Munchausen syndrome].
abstract: A case is described of the Munchhausen's syndrome in a 35-year-old female patient. The patient was hospitalised 17 times and had six laparotomies for suspected peritonitis. Besides that venesection and lymphography were done. The patient malingered also insulin-dependent diabetes, fever, and haematuria. Since she worked as a housemaid for a doctor she had access to textbooks and professional literature. In the paper more modern aspects of the Munchhausen's syndrome are also discussed e.g. the Munchhausen's syndrome "by proxy".
