Abstract (2. Language):
The case we present here is one of “folie a deux” that developed in a 35-year-old, unmarried woman who has been
in a long-term dependent and passive relation with a man manifesting a psychotic syndrome. She was examined
as a result of a consultation request after having been admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department
at the university hospital with a pre-diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease. The symptoms reported were severe
fatigue, joint pain, neck pain and edema in nose and throat resulting from an infection that had spread and progressed
in our patient two years earlier. We diagnosed her with “folie a deux” and, so as to be able to conduct psychiatric
treatment, recommended that she be separated from her partner and admitted to the psychiatric clinic. The couple,
however, refused to be separated from one another. The following morning, the day nurse realized that the patient
and her partner had left the hospital without paying their bill, which required that an official report be kept.
