The authors report a case that offers insight into the diagnostic challenges of "Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy." Initial presentation with history of fever and later with intractable vomiting led to invasive and expensive diagnostic evaluation before confirming the diagnosis. Certain toxic effects of emetine were clinically noted. Biochemical and clinical improvement were clearly demonstrated after withdrawal of the toxic agent.
