What Are The Symptoms Of Munchausen Syndrome?
Yes. My sister for over 30 yrs has said that she has Leukemia. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and she lived in Vegas until recently. I wanted to go to her Dr here in Baton Rouge because she said she had Phenmonia but instead we went to hospital. The hospital discharged her with an ear infection. Tell me about Munchausen Syndrome. I believe she has that illness

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Munchhausen syndrome is a kind of factitious disorder in which act as sick to over come his emotional problems. In her case the problem seems more likely of another entity called "hypochondria", which is nothing but undue concern about health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
