Pediatric rheumatology online journal(2015)
摘要
Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is an inflammatory disorder of childhood classically characterized by recurrent fevers, pharyngitis, stomatitis, cervical adenitis and leukocytosis. Little is known about the true incidence, natural course, pathogenesis, and appropriate therapy in this recently described syndrome. While the mechanism is unclear, previous studies have shown that tonsillectomy can be a therapeutic option with improvement in quality of life in many patients with PFAPA, but long-term clinical follow up is lacking.
