Munchausen's syndrome with hematuria and sepsis: an unusual case.
Publication/Presentation Date
1-1-1991
Abstract
An unusual case of Munchausen's syndrome is described in which a former microbiology technician was suspected of inoculating himself with contaminated material to produce sepsis and ingesting warfarin in the form of rat poison to cause hematuria. This combination of factitious disorders has rarely been reported. Other unusual features included a nonemergent presentation through the hospital emergency room and a clinical profile not typical of previously published cases.
