    • Abstract:
      Factitious fever is a heterogeneous pathology based on the simulation, obtained by the patient himself (self-induced fever) or by fraudulent state (feigned fever). Diagnosis must be suspected according to several criteria: long-lasting fever, "belle indifférence" of children and their family, normal clinical and haematological data. The authors report, in the light of the personal experience, two cases of factitious fever.
