Abstract

PFAPA sendromu; tekrarlayıcı, aftöz stomatit, farenjit ve servikal lenfadenopati ataklarının eşlik ettiği etyolojisi henüz tam olarak bilinmeyen ateşli bir hastalıktır. Benign karakterde olup beş yaşından küçüklerde ve erkek cinsiyette daha sık görülür. Uzun dönemde sekel gelişmez. Hastalığın klinik tablosu spesifik olmasına rağmen laboratuvar bulgularının non-spesifik olması nedeniyle tanısı güçtür. Bu olgu sunumunda kliniğe başvuran ve PFAPA tanısı konulan iki hasta tartışıldı.

Abstract

PFAPA syndrome is a febril disease with unknown etiology which is
characterized by reccurrent aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and servical
adenitis. It has a benign clinical course and frequently seen in male patients
under five-year-old. Although the clinical findings of PFAPA is specific, its
diagnosis is often diffucult due to non-specific laboratory findings. In this report,
we discuss two patients diagnosed with PFAPA syndrome.


PFAPA sendromu; tekrarlayıcı, aftöz
stomatit, farenjit ve servikal lenfadenopati ataklarının eşlik ettiği
etyolojisi henüz tam olarak bilinmeyen ateşli bir hastalıktır.  Benign karakterde olup beş yaşından
küçüklerde ve erkek cinsiyette daha sık görülür. Uzun dönemde sekel gelişmez.
Hastalığın klinik tablosu spesifik olmasına rağmen laboratuvar bulgularının
non-spesifik olması nedeniyle tanısı güçtür. Bu olgu sunumunda kliniğe başvuran
ve PFAPA tanısı konulan iki hasta tartışıldı.
