[When health care professionals become unwillingly involved in child abuse: the Munchhausen-by-proxy syndrome].
Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift 2006 August

Nevertheless the steadily growing number of reports on this kind of child abuse, known as Munchausen-by-proxy syndrome, points to a significant number of undetected cases. The interactional involvement of health care professionals in the abuse tends to impede diagnosis, and, as a consequence of the syndrome, usually leads to violent emotional reactions, which require careful analysis and professional handling.
