摘要:
Factitious or self-induced illness has rarely been mentioned in gynecologic literature. Described herein are 4 nonpregnant women, 3 of whom had vaginal bleeding of unknown origin and 1 who had recurrent fevers and an acute abdomen. In gynecologic practice, factitious illness should be suspected whenever a patient presents with a protracted illness that has eluded diagnosis. Furthermore, the index of suspicion for factitious illness should be high whenever a patient has an abnormal psychiatric history or has worked in a paramedical field.
