Dear Richard,
from the pediatric perspective prior reported cure rates after
adenotonsillectomy are even lower than experienced in clinical practice.
PFAPA children usually have tonsil enlargement only within episodes. With
long-lasting recurrent PFAPA episodes I would favour surgery in your
patient.
BTW I wonder if long-term antibody response will be maintained. However it
seems to work fine in terms of antibody titers (despite low SmB cells)
All the best,
Nacho

> 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?
