Overview

Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is a medical condition, typically starting in young children, in which high fever occurs periodically at intervals of about 3-5 weeks, frequently accompanied by aphthous ulcers, pharyngitis and/or adenitis. The syndrome was described in 1987 and named two years later.

Historical Perspective

  • Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis was first discribed by Dr. Marshall in 1987.[1]
  • Initially it was named fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis (FAPA) syndrome, later was changed to periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome to further emphasize on its periodic nature, the main feature of this disorder.[2]

Classification

  • There is no established system for the classification of periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis.

Pathophysiology

Causes

Differentiating Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis from Other Diseases

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • The incidence of PFAPA syndrome is approximately 23 per 100,000 children up to 5 years of age worldwide.[14]
  • The exact prevalence of PFAPA syndrome is not known, however it appears to be more frequent than other autoinflammatory disorders.[15][16]
  • PFAPA syndrome more commonly affects children of 2-5 years of age.[17]
  • There is also reports of adult onset PFAPA syndrome.[18][19]
  • There is no racial predilection to PFAPA syndrome.
  • PFAPA syndrome affects men and women equally.

Risk Factors

Screening

  • There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for PFAPA syndrome.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

  • Patients with PFAPA syndrome develop the manifestations early in childhood, between 2-5 years of age.[20][21][17]
  • It manifests with periods of high fevers lasting for 3 to 6 days along with aphthous ulcers and non-infectious, exudative pharyngitis.
  • Symptoms usually occur every 21 to 28 days.
  • In between episodes, and even during the episodes, the children appear healthy.
  • According to present research, PFAPA does not lead to other diseases and spontaneously resolves as the child gets older, with no long term effects.[12]

Diagnosis

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Diagnostic criteria of PFAPA
  • Regularly recurring fevers with an early age of onset (<5 years of age)

History and Symptoms

Physical Examination

Laboratory Findings

Electrocardiogram

  • There are no ECG findings associated with PFAPA syndrome.

X-ray

  • There are no x-ray findings associated with PFAPA syndrome.

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

CT Scan

  • There are no CT scan findings associated with PFAPA syndrome.

MRI

  • There are no MRI findings associated with PFAPA syndrome.

Other Imaging Findings

  • There are no other imaging findings associated with PFAPA syndrome.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Treatment

Medical Therapy

  • There is no treatment for PFAPA syndrome; the mainstay of therapy is supportive care.
  • A possible treatment for PFAPA is a single dose of prednisone (2 mg per kg body mass) at the beginning of each fever episode.
  • The single-dose usually terminates the fever within several hours. However, in some children, prednisone causes fever episodes to occur more frequently (and more regularly).[25]
  • Daily administration of colchicine has been associated with decreased frequency of episodes.[26][27]
  • IL-1 blockade with drugs, such as anakinra, rilonacept, and canakinumab have also indicated promising results.[24][28]

Surgery

  • Adenotonsillectomy is recommended for patients with PFAPA syndrome who failed to response to medical treatment.[29][30]
  • However, recent studies reported the moderate quality of evidence which supports the role of surgery in the management of these patients. This report suggests evaluation of risks and benefits before performing the surgery.[31]
