We conclude that fathers, as well as mothers and female caretakers, can be the perpetrators in Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Those same fathers may be even more difficult to detect when they do not fit previously described personalities and traits associated with mothers. We do not know if this case was an isolated incident or if some cases go undetected because fathers are not suspected as perpetrators. We hope that the case described in this article will alert the medical community to the possibility of either parent as a perpetrator in Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
我们得出结论，父亲以及母亲和女性照料者都可能是代理型孟乔森综合征的实施者。当这些父亲不符合先前描述的与母亲相关的性格和特征时，可能更难被发现。我们不知道这个案例是个孤立事件，还是因为没有怀疑父亲是实施者而导致一些案例未被发现。我们希望本文所述案例能提醒医学界，代理型孟乔森综合征的实施者可能是父母中的任何一方。
