It can be a case of what is called "Munchhausen's by proxy". Munchhausen's refers to a person who exaggerates or creates an illness serious enough to need special attention. The point of doing this is exactly that - to get attention. Munchhausen's by proxy means that a persons exaggerates or creates an illness in another so that the person gets attention for the care and concern shown that other person.
