Letters to the Editor

Thomas E. Cone Jr. M.D.

Dr. Fleisher's letter calls attention to a factitious cause for an abnormally colored urine. Although this is an uncommon occurrence in the pediatric age group, I recently was asked to see an adolescent boy because his urine was red. In quizzing him further, he admitted adding some red ink to his urine specimen because he thought this would excuse him from taking a school examination for which he had not prepared himself.
