[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] PFAPA, IgA Deficiency, no EBNA

I am caring for a 19 year old woman with a long history of recurrent
sinusitis and respiratory tract infection now with a one year history of
debilitating classic episodes of Fever (39.5), cervical Adenopathy,
Pharyngitis and Aphthous stomatitis lasting five days and requiring a few
more days to recover occurring at least once a month. These episodes are
poorly responsive to prednisone (40mg once or twice a day). There is an
incidental new diagnosis of thyroid cancer.

It appears that she is not able to produce EBNA antibody (first IgG-VCA
positive > 1 year ago). Lab studies are below. I think she is not just a
Selective IgA deficiency.

There is a tentative plan for tonsillectomy. Are there alternate
suggestions for management of the PFAPA? If the tonsils are removed, what
immunohistologic studies would you get?

Thanks,
Richard Wasserman
