[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] PFAPA and low memory B cells

Colleagues,

I am seeing a 19 yo woman who has long carried the diagnosis of Selective
IgA Deficiency. She has had multiple episodes of sinusitis and one
pneumonia. For the past year, she has had textbook presentations of PFAPA
with all four characteristics every 3-4 weeks. She recently had a
thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer.

Her laboratory studies are below. At this time she is being treated with
prophylactic TMP/SMX. My questions are: What would you do for the PFAPA
which is debilitating because of the 5-7 day duration of the episodes and
their frequency (tonsils are visible but small). What additional laboratory
studies may be of help?

Thanks,
Richard Wasserman
