CONCLUSIONS: The health of the PFAPA patients was as good as that of healthy matched controls. Autoimmune or other chronic diseases were not more prevalent among PFAPA patients treated with TE in childhood than among controls. Respiratory infections and oral thrush were more common among the PFAPA patients than controls. PMID: 29533751 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
