- Abstract
- In 1987, Marshall et al. described a new periodic fever that was later named periodic fever, aphthous ulcers, pharyngitis, and cervical
adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome. Other periodic fever diseases, such as recurrent tonsillitis, a number of infectious diseases, juvenile
idiopathic arthritis, Behcet’s disease, cyclic neutropenia, familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), familial Hibernian fever (FHF),
and hyperglobulinema D syndrome must be excluded as diagnoses. The diagnostic criteria were proposed in 1989 and modified 10
years later. Adult onset PFAPA syndrome has rarely been reported and has not been reported in Korea. We diagnosed PFAPA syndrome
with characteristic clinical findings in a 50-year-old man, who showed good response to steroid therapy. (Korean J Med
