Breed or Meadow?—Munchausen or Münchhausen?

Salmon et al indicated that only three cases of factitious hematuria in children have been reported to date. However, there is at least a fourth report of factitious hematunia associated with factitious renal stones which was reported in Pediatrics, in 1976 by us which is not listed in the article's references. Also not listed was the review of Paperny et al of factitious hematuria in their report of Munchausen's syndrome in 1980. Another article in Pediatrics in 1983 reported that only four cases of Munchausen syndrome, all in adolescents, had been reported but did not include our earlier report of a 10-year-old child with this condition.
