title: [Anemia by self-injury: the Lasthenie de Ferjol syndrome].
abstract: Patients with factitious disorders need to be ill and to defy physicians. These syndromes are difficult to diagnose because of the permanent disorder appearing inside the therapeutic relation. The case of a young woman who presents with a factitious anemia, also called Lasthenie de Ferjol syndrome, shows the complexity of such psychosomatic symptoms.
