This study reviewed the case records of 41 British children with illnesses induced by a parent, almost always the mother. Four patterns emerged: (1) failure-to-thrive through withholding of food; (2) allegation of allergy and withholding of food; (3) allegation and fabrication of medical symptoms; and (4) active interference by poisoning or disrupting medical treatment.
