A case of a two and half year old "poor male child" who was subjected to potentially dangerous investigations and therapy due to factitious illness presented by the mother is reported. It took about two years before the problem could be diagnosed. Even though the mother denied the factitious nature of the illness, confronting her with the problem has led to a considerable reduction in medical consultations. The patient was still being followed up at the time of writing this report.
报告了一例两岁半的“贫困男童”病例，其因母亲编造的疾病而接受了可能存在危险的检查和治疗。大约花了两年时间才确诊该问题。尽管母亲否认疾病是编造的，但与她对质这个问题已使医疗咨询大幅减少。在撰写本报告时，该患者仍在接受随访。
