Sindrom PFAPA dapat menyebabkan demam tinggi berulang disertai sariawan, sakit tenggorokan, dan pembengkakan kelenjar di leher, biasanya berlangsung 3–7 hari dengan pemulihan sepenuhnya di antara serangan. Diagnosis bergantung pada pola berulang dan penyingkiran penyebab lain—bukan satu hasil tes darah yang abnormal. Catatan gejala sangat membantu; episode yang sangat parah atau berbeda perlu dinilai ulang.
Poin-poin penting
- Sindrom PFAPA umumnya menyebabkan episode demam yang berlangsung 3–7 hari, dipisahkan oleh beberapa minggu dalam kondisi sehat.
- Gejala PFAPA meliputi sariawan aftosa, faringitis, dan pembengkakan kelenjar getah bening servikal; ketiga ciri tersebut tidak harus muncul bersamaan.
- Waktu demam sering mengikuti siklus kira-kira 2–8 minggu, tetapi keteraturan kalender yang tepat tidak diperlukan untuk diagnosis.
- Catatan gejala sebaiknya mencatat tanggal episode, suhu maksimum dalam °C atau °F, gejala, obat-obatan, dan pemulihan di antara serangan.
- Tes darah dapat menunjukkan peningkatan CRP dan neutrofil selama serangan; CRP sebesar 80 mg/L tidak membedakan PFAPA dari infeksi.
- Neutropenia siklik dapat berulang kira-kira setiap 21 hari dan mungkin memerlukan pemeriksaan darah serial, bukan hanya satu CBC yang meyakinkan.
- Keputusan pengobatan dapat melibatkan kortikosteroid yang diresepkan dokter, obat pencegahan, atau tonsilektomi; tidak satu pun boleh dilakukan hanya berdasarkan hasil laboratorium.
- Evaluasi segera diperlukan untuk setiap bayi berusia kurang dari 3 bulan dengan suhu 38°C atau lebih, atau setiap anak yang mengalami kesulitan bernapas, penurunan respons, atau ruam yang tidak memucat saat ditekan.
Apa itu sindrom PFAPA, dan apa penyebab demamnya?
Sindrom PFAPA adalah kondisi autoinflamasi yang menyebabkan episode demam berulang disertai ulkus aftosa di mulut, faringitis, dan adenitis servikal. Serangan biasanya berlangsung 3–7 hari; anak biasanya kembali ke tingkat energi, nafsu makan, dan pertumbuhan normal di antara episode.
PFAPA mencerminkan aktivasi jalur inflamasi yang tidak semestinya, bukan penyakit menular baru setiap beberapa minggu. Awitan paling sering terjadi sebelum usia 5 tahun, tetapi anak yang lebih besar dan orang dewasa juga dapat mengalaminya; karena itu, batas usia historis merupakan petunjuk, bukan pengecualian mutlak (Wang et al., 2021). PFAPA bukan berarti semua demam di masa mendatang tidak disebabkan oleh infeksi.
Akronim ini menggambarkan 4 komponen: demam periodik, stomatitis aftosa, faringitis, dan adenitis. Tidak seperti beberapa kondisi demam periodik yang diturunkan, PFAPA tidak memiliki satu tes genetik yang telah terbukti untuk memastikan diagnosis, meskipun pengelompokan dalam keluarga dapat terjadi; panel genetik luas yang negatif tidak membuktikan PFAPA maupun menyingkirkan semua gangguan inflamasi alternatif.
Kantesti adalah seorang Analisa tes darah AI yang dapat membantu menjelaskan mengapa hasil CRP sebesar 80 mg/L memerlukan konteks klinis, bukan label diagnosis. Kami organisasi dan pendekatan menjelaskan layanan ini, tetapi mengidentifikasi PFAPA mengharuskan dokter menghubungkan gejala dari beberapa episode, memeriksa anak, dan mempertimbangkan kondisi yang tidak dapat diketahui dari laporan laboratorium.
Gejala PFAPA apa yang membuat polanya mudah dikenali?
Gejala PFAPA biasanya menggabungkan demam dengan sakit tenggorokan, kelenjar leher yang nyeri, atau ulkus kecil di mulut. Kombinasi yang sama berulang selama 3 episode atau lebih yang terdokumentasi lebih informatif daripada gejala tunggal apa pun, meskipun tidak ada jumlah minimum episode universal yang dapat memastikan PFAPA.
Ulkus aftosa biasanya berupa luka kecil dan dangkal pada bagian dalam bibir, pipi, atau permukaan mulut lainnya—bukan lepuh berkelompok di bagian luar bibir. Anak mungkin hanya memiliki 1 atau 2 luka, dan ulkus mungkin tidak muncul pada beberapa serangan; memotret luka yang terlihat dapat membantu jika luka tersebut hilang sebelum jadwal konsultasi.
Faringitis dapat mencakup kemerahan atau lapisan pada tonsil, sehingga tampilannya saja tidak dapat membedakan PFAPA dari infeksi streptokokus. Kelenjar yang membengkak biasanya melibatkan nodus servikal di sekitar leher, sedangkan nodus yang terus membesar, pembengkakan kelenjar yang menyeluruh, atau gejala yang berlangsung lebih dari serangan 3–7 hari memerlukan penjelasan lain, bukan langsung dikaitkan dengan PFAPA.
Luka di mulut saja bukan diagnosis demam periodik. Luka mulut berulang yang disertai luka genital, mata merah yang nyeri, perubahan penglihatan, atau temuan kulit yang tidak biasa mengarah pada kemungkinan lain, termasuk pola gejala Behçet; bahkan 1 episode nyeri mata yang disertai gangguan penglihatan memerlukan pemeriksaan segera, tanpa menunggu siklus demam berikutnya.
Berapa lama demam PFAPA berlangsung, dan seberapa sering kambuh?
Demam PFAPA biasanya berlangsung 3–7 hari dan berulang kira-kira setiap 2–8 minggu, sering kali dengan gejala yang sangat mirip. Sebagian anak mengalami pola yang dapat diprediksi, tetapi interval yang bervariasi tidak serta-merta menyingkirkan PFAPA.
Temperatures during PFAPA attacks often reach 39–40°C, but fever height does not determine the diagnosis or reliably measure danger. The timing of associated throat symptoms, the child's appearance and the return to baseline matter more; measuring temperature with the same method also makes comparisons more useful than alternating between forehead, ear and underarm readings.
For a hypothetical child, fevers beginning on days 1, 29 and 58 with 4-day attacks suggest a repeated cycle—not proof of PFAPA. Count start-to-start intervals separately from fever-free days, and record whether corticosteroid treatment changed an interval; a shortened next cycle after treatment can otherwise make a previously regular pattern look inexplicably irregular.
A fever that does not stop is not a series of separate PFAPA episodes. If symptoms persist beyond 7 days, or recovery never occurs, clinicians reconsider infection and other inflammatory conditions; our explanation of efek waktu pemeriksaan darah also shows why a sample taken on day 1 cannot be interpreted like one taken after recovery.
Apa saja yang perlu dicatat dalam catatan gejala PFAPA?
A PFAPA symptom diary should record episode start and finish dates, measured temperature, mouth and throat findings, neck swelling, medication timing and wellness between attacks. Even 3 carefully documented episodes can reveal details that a single clinic visit misses.
Document the thermometer method and the highest measured temperature, not just 'very hot.' For each day of a 4-day attack, note drinking, urine output, activity, cough, runny nose, abdominal symptoms and whether anyone nearby was ill; these observations distinguish a repeated inflammatory pattern from unrelated respiratory or gastrointestinal illnesses more effectively than recording fever alone.
Medication entries need the name, dose, administration time and observed response. If a prescribed medicine is given at 09:00 and fever settles by 14:00, record that interval without claiming the medicine established PFAPA; include throat swab results and whether a laboratory sample preceded treatment, because both antibiotics and corticosteroids can complicate interpretation of subsequent findings.
Well days deserve entries too. A weekly note of normal appetite, play, school attendance and any lingering symptoms prevents a diary from becoming an attack-only record; when a clinician requests a recovery sample, our persiapan pemeriksaan nilai dasar explains how to record recent illness and medicines rather than treating a sample 2 days after fever as an unquestionable baseline.
Mengapa kondisi sehat di antara episode PFAPA sangat penting?
Complete wellness between episodes strongly supports a typical PFAPA pattern: normal activity, appetite and growth should return after the 3–7-day attack. Persistent symptoms or continuing inflammation between attacks make clinicians reconsider the diagnosis.
A child who is fever-free but remains exhausted, loses weight or develops daily pain has not truly returned to baseline. Growth is assessed through serial height and weight measurements, not 1 percentile in isolation; crossing growth centiles over time may justify investigation even when individual fever episodes resemble PFAPA and routine examinations during attacks look familiar.
Repeated ordinary infections are common in young children, but unusually severe, prolonged or unusual infections suggest a different evaluation. A history of 2 hospital-treated infections or recurrent deep infections matters differently from several mild colds; clinicians consider the organisms, sites, treatment response and family history, as discussed in our guide to pengujian infeksi yang sering.
Inflammatory markers usually fall toward the laboratory reference range between PFAPA attacks, but an immediately post-fever sample may still reflect recovery. A persistent CRP of 25 mg/L on repeated genuinely well-day samples is not proof of another disease, yet it deserves explanation; a clinician may check for an unnoticed infection, ongoing inflammatory symptoms or a sampling timeline that was mislabeled.
Apa yang ditunjukkan CRP, ESR, dan hitung darah pada PFAPA?
PFAPA attacks can raise CRP, ESR and neutrophil counts, but none of these tests confirms PFAPA or excludes infection. Many laboratories use a CRP upper reference limit around 5 mg/L, sementara yang lain menggunakan 10 mg/L; the report's own range matters.
Consider a hypothetical child with CRP 80 mg/L during fever and 3 mg/L after recovery. That change supports an episodic inflammatory process but does not identify its cause; infection can produce the same pattern, while ESR may normalize more slowly than CRP, making a modestly raised recovery ESR less surprising than persistent symptoms or repeatedly elevated CRP.
White-cell interpretation must use age-appropriate absolute counts rather than adult ranges or percentages alone. At Kantesti, we emphasize that CRP 8 mg/dL equals 80 mg/L—a tenfold unit conversion that can otherwise create a false impression of improvement; our WBC dan CRP kami explains why these markers can disagree because they change at different rates.
Procalcitonin is sometimes considered when serious bacterial infection is suspected, but it is not a standalone PFAPA discriminator. A low result, including a value below 0.1 ng/mL, cannot safely overrule a concerning examination or very early illness; the limits described in our tentang interpretasi prokalsitonin matter more than using one reassuring number to justify home treatment.
Bagaimana klinisi menegakkan diagnosis PFAPA?
PFAPA diagnosis is clinical: clinicians identify repeated characteristic attacks, document recovery between them and exclude plausible alternatives. Onset before age 5 supports traditional criteria, but later onset does not prevent a diagnosis when the overall pattern fits.
The diagnostic process usually starts with history and examination rather than an extensive panel of rare-disease tests. Wang et al. (2021) describe the value of stereotyped episodes, absence of typical respiratory symptoms, negative relevant cultures and response to prescribed corticosteroids; however, 1 negative throat swab or 1 rapid response cannot independently establish PFAPA, and classification criteria are not identical to bedside diagnosis.
Streptococcal testing addresses the current throat illness, while an ASO antibody test mainly reflects previous exposure. An ASO result of 400 IU/mL does not prove that today's recurrent fever is active strep infection; age, local reference ranges and symptom timing affect interpretation, as explained in our discussion of ASO and recent exposure.
Kantesti adalah seorang Alat analisis pemeriksaan darah berbasis AI that can contextualize laboratory units and repeated results, but 2 matching reports cannot confirm PFAPA. Our pengawasan teknis dan klinis information should not be read as validation of a PFAPA diagnostic test; pediatric or rheumatology assessment remains necessary when the pattern is atypical, severe or uncertain.
Bagaimana PFAPA dibedakan dari infeksi berulang?
Repeated infections are more likely when episodes follow sick contacts, have varying symptoms or include cough, runny nose, diarrhea or a confirmed pathogen. PFAPA more often repeats a similar 3–7-day pattern with complete wellness between attacks, but the two can coexist.
A positive respiratory PCR does not always explain the entire fever history. Adenovirus can remain detectable after an illness, so 1 positive result must be matched to current symptoms, examination and timing; our discussion of deteksi dan pelepasan adenovirus explains why a molecular result may indicate recent exposure rather than the cause of every subsequent attack.
Longer-lasting sore throat, fatigue and gland enlargement can suggest a different illness rather than PFAPA. EBV antibody patterns distinguish recent infection from prior exposure more effectively than a single positive IgG result; our Panduan pola antibodi EBV explains the roles of 3 commonly reported markers—VCA IgM, VCA IgG and EBNA IgG—without equating past exposure with today's symptoms.
Antibiotic response is also easy to misread. If an antibiotic begins on day 4 and the fever ends on day 5, spontaneous resolution of a PFAPA attack is possible; conversely, a confirmed bacterial infection still requires appropriate treatment, and neither previous PFAPA nor prior antibiotic failure permits a new illness with different symptoms to be dismissed without assessment.
Gangguan demam periodik lain apa yang dapat menyerupai PFAPA?
Neutropenia siklik and inherited autoinflammatory disorders can resemble PFAPA, especially when mouth sores accompany recurring fever. Approximately 21-day cycles, severe infections, marked abdominal or chest pain, unusual rashes or persistent inflammation help clinicians decide which alternatives to investigate.
Cyclic neutropenia can produce recurrent fever, mouth sores and gum problems while a blood count between low-count periods looks normal. When suspected, clinicians may request CBCs 2–3 times weekly for about 6 weeks to identify repeated neutrophil nadirs; an absolute neutrophil count below 0.5 × 10^9/L during fever requires urgent clinical assessment rather than being labeled a routine PFAPA attack.
Familial Mediterranean fever often causes shorter attacks, commonly 12–72 hours, with abdominal or chest pain from serosal inflammation or joint symptoms. Our pemeriksaan MEFV shows why genotype and symptoms must be interpreted together; TRAPS may produce longer attacks, sometimes over 7 days, while mevalonate kinase deficiency can involve diarrhea, vomiting and attacks triggered by vaccination or other stressors.
Ancestry and family history guide assessment, but neither should become a gatekeeper that excludes an inherited disorder. Persistently raised serum amyloid A between attacks can indicate ongoing inflammation and requires context, as our serum amyloid A guide explains; a single high value during a 4-day fever does not diagnose amyloidosis, and typical PFAPA should not automatically be assigned the complication risks of other syndromes.
Tanda bahaya demam apa yang memerlukan evaluasi segera?
Cari pertolongan darurat for fever with breathing difficulty, reduced responsiveness, a stiff neck, a non-blanching rash or severe dehydration. An infant younger than 3 bulan dengan suhu 38°C atau lebih needs urgent medical assessment, even if a family member has PFAPA.
Difficulty swallowing saliva, drooling, a muffled voice or marked one-sided throat swelling can indicate an airway-threatening problem rather than a usual PFAPA flare. A child aged 3–6 months with a temperature of 39°C or higher also needs urgent assessment; contact local emergency services for immediate danger instead of waiting for a blood result or an expected fever endpoint.
Fever lasting 5 days or longer warrants prompt medical review, particularly with red eyes, cracked lips, rash or swollen hands and feet. These findings can suggest Kawasaki disease, discussed in our Kawasaki assessment guide; incomplete presentations occur, so clinicians do not require every classic feature, and concerning symptoms should be assessed before day 5 rather than waiting for a threshold.
New severe localized abdominal pain, persistent vomiting or inability to walk normally should not be attributed to PFAPA without examination. Even 1 normal WBC or CRP result cannot reliably exclude an early abdominal emergency, as our appendicitis laboratory limits explain; children with a known fever syndrome can still develop unrelated illnesses, especially when the attack looks different from their established pattern.
Bagaimana serangan PFAPA diobati, dan apa arti respons terhadap steroid?
PFAPA attack treatment focuses on comfort, hydration and, when prescribed, corticosteroids that often stop fever within hours. Published prednisone or prednisolone regimens range from 0.5–2 mg/kg, but dosing, maximum dose and eligibility must be set by the treating clinician.
Vanoni et al. (2016) describe rapid corticosteroid responses alongside the limitation that treatment may shorten the interval to the next attack. Reports summarized in that review estimated shorter intervals in approximately 25–50% of patients, but these observations come from heterogeneous studies rather than a precise prediction for an individual child; attack control and long-term prevention are separate treatment goals.
For a hypothetical 20-kg child, a clinician-selected dose of 1 mg/kg would equal 20 mg; this calculation illustrates weight-based prescribing, not a home-treatment recommendation. Families need a written plan explaining when a familiar attack qualifies for treatment, when to seek assessment first and what to do if the expected response does not occur—especially if symptoms suggest a new infection.
Antipyretics may improve discomfort even when they do not end the inflammatory episode. Choose child-appropriate preparations with a clinician or pharmacist, avoid aspirin unless specifically prescribed and do not duplicate paracetamol/acetaminophen across 2 products; Kantesti cannot authorize steroid treatment, and our discussion of interpretasi AI pada anak-anak explains why pediatric decisions need more than laboratory pattern recognition.
Kapan obat pencegahan atau tonsilektomi dipertimbangkan?
Prevention or tonsillectomy may be considered when PFAPA attacks repeatedly disrupt daily life or attack treatment is unsatisfactory. A Cochrane review included 2 randomized trials involving 67 children, finding benefit from tonsil surgery while emphasizing the limited size of the evidence base.
Burton et al. (2019) judged the evidence for several tonsillectomy outcomes to be of moderate certainty, but the trials were too small to characterize uncommon harms confidently. The evidence concerns selected children rather than every person with recurrent sore throat; a child missing 4 school days each month may value potential benefit differently from a child with infrequent, easily managed attacks.
Colchicine is sometimes used to reduce attacks under specialist supervision, whereas cimetidine has less convincing evidence. Treatment selection should consider the diagnosis, kidney and liver function, other medicines and the possibility of an inherited fever disorder; when several options exist, agree in advance on a measurable goal, such as fewer attacks across 3 months, rather than assuming a changed laboratory number demonstrates success.
Tonsillectomy carries postoperative pain, dehydration, anesthesia-related risks and bleeding risk, even when it improves PFAPA. Kantesti's kami yang bertanggung jawab supports a clear boundary: neither 1 elevated inflammatory marker nor an automated report can decide whether surgery is appropriate; that discussion belongs with the treating pediatric team and an ENT specialist who can assess the child's individual risks.
Tindak lanjut apa yang membantu anak, orang dewasa, dan keluarga dengan PFAPA?
PFAPA follow-up should track attack burden, growth or weight, treatment response and any symptoms between episodes. Many childhood cases improve over several years, but persistence, relapse and adult-onset disease occur; a 3-month review interval can be a practical individualized plan rather than a universal rule.
Adults require the same attention to repeated patterns and alternative causes, not an assumption that PFAPA is impossible after childhood. Fever with oral sores and pharyngitis can support the diagnosis, but new constitutional symptoms, persistent gland enlargement or abnormal findings between attacks need assessment; a 35-year-old with a first prolonged fever should not self-diagnose PFAPA from an online symptom match.
Prepare a concise appointment summary: attack dates, duration, associated features, well-day symptoms, test results and response to prescribed treatment. Include 1 clearly labeled attack sample and any clinician-requested recovery sample, rather than ordering a broad panel every month; repeated testing is useful only when it answers a specific question, such as whether inflammation persists or neutrophil counts cycle.

Publikasi penelitian: bukti versus panduan laboratorium sebagai latar belakang
PFAPA evidence comes from clinical descriptions, differential-diagnosis research and treatment studies—not from a specific clotting or serum-protein test. The 2 background publications below explain other laboratory topics and should not be mistaken for studies validating PFAPA diagnosis.
The peer-reviewed PFAPA review by Wang et al. (2021), treatment review by Vanoni et al. (2016) and Cochrane analysis by Burton et al. (2019) directly inform this article's clinical discussion. The surgical review's 67-child evidence base illustrates why certainty must be proportionate to study size; a named source supports a specific claim, not every recommendation made elsewhere on the page.
Materi Kantesti clotting test background guide Dan panduan latar belakang protein serum accompany the 2 Zenodo records listed below. Neither aPTT nor an albumin/globulin ratio confirms PFAPA, and neither guide establishes that routine testing of those markers improves PFAPA care; additional tests should follow an identified clinical concern rather than the availability of a panel.
Evidence interpretation should distinguish a repository-hosted educational guide from a peer-reviewed condition-specific study or systematic review. Our standar konten medis explain the editorial approach; for a child with 3 apparently similar attacks, the practical priority remains documented recovery, targeted exclusion of alternatives and a clear safety plan, not accumulating more citations or tests that do not answer the clinical question.
Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
Apa itu sindrom PFAPA?
Sindrom PFAPA adalah kondisi autoinflamasi yang menyebabkan demam berulang disertai ulkus aftosa di mulut, faringitis, dan pembengkakan kelenjar getah bening servikal. Episode biasanya berlangsung 3–7 hari dan berulang setiap beberapa minggu, dengan kondisi kesehatan yang normal di antara serangan. Kondisi ini biasanya dimulai sebelum usia 5 tahun, meskipun anak yang lebih besar dan orang dewasa juga dapat mengalaminya. Tidak ada satu tes darah pun yang dapat memastikan PFAPA, sehingga diagnosis bergantung pada pola klinis yang berulang dan penilaian terhadap kemungkinan penyebab lain.
Seberapa sering demam PFAPA terjadi?
Demam PFAPA biasanya kambuh sekitar setiap 2–8 minggu, dan serangan biasanya berlangsung selama 3–7 hari. Beberapa anak mengalami siklus yang sangat teratur, sementara anak lainnya memiliki jeda waktu yang bervariasi. Pengobatan kortikosteroid dapat memperpendek waktu hingga episode berikutnya, sehingga waktu pemberian obat perlu dicatat dalam buku harian demam. Demam yang terus-menerus atau kondisi yang tidak membaik di antara serangan perlu dievaluasi ulang dan tidak boleh langsung dianggap sesuai dengan PFAPA.
Dapatkah hasil tes darah CRP yang tinggi mendiagnosis PFAPA?
Hasil CRP yang tinggi tidak dapat mendiagnosis PFAPA karena infeksi dan gangguan peradangan lainnya dapat menyebabkan peningkatan yang sama. Sebagai contoh, kadar CRP 80 mg/L saat demam dan 3 mg/L setelah pulih mendukung adanya peradangan episodik, tetapi tidak mengidentifikasi penyebabnya. Banyak laboratorium menggunakan batas atas nilai rujukan CRP sekitar 5 mg/L, sementara sebagian lainnya menggunakan 10 mg/L. Dokter menafsirkan hasil tersebut bersama gejala, pemeriksaan, waktu pengambilan sampel, dan pemeriksaan infeksi yang relevan.
Apakah PFAPA menular, dan apakah perlu antibiotik?
PFAPA sendiri tidak menular dan antibiotik tidak mengatasi proses peradangan yang mendasarinya. Serangan yang biasanya berlangsung 3–7 hari dapat berakhir dengan sendirinya setelah antibiotik mulai diberikan, sehingga menimbulkan kesan keliru bahwa antibiotiklah yang berhasil. Anak dengan PFAPA tetap dapat tertular penyakit virus atau infeksi bakteri yang menular. Demam baru dengan gejala yang berbeda, kontak dengan orang yang sakit, atau penyebab bakteri yang telah dikonfirmasi harus dinilai dan ditangani berdasarkan kondisinya sendiri.
Apakah respons cepat terhadap prednison membuktikan PFAPA?
Respons yang cepat terhadap prednison atau prednisolon yang diresepkan mendukung diagnosis PFAPA, tetapi tidak membuktikannya. Regimen PFAPA yang dipublikasikan mencakup dosis 0,5–2 mg/kg, dengan dosis aktual dan batas maksimum ditentukan oleh dokter yang merawat. Kortikosteroid dapat menekan gejala kondisi lain dan mungkin memperpendek jeda hingga serangan PFAPA berikutnya. Keluarga sebaiknya menggunakan rencana perawatan tertulis dan meminta penilaian medis sebelum pengobatan jika suatu episode sangat parah atau berbeda dari biasanya.
Kapan anak yang diduga mengalami PFAPA harus segera mendapatkan perawatan darurat?
Anak yang diduga mengalami PFAPA memerlukan penanganan darurat jika mengalami demam disertai kesulitan bernapas, penurunan kesadaran, leher kaku, ruam yang tidak memudar saat ditekan, atau dehidrasi berat. Bayi berusia kurang dari 3 bulan dengan suhu 38°C atau lebih harus segera diperiksa oleh tenaga medis. Demam yang berlangsung selama 5 hari atau lebih juga perlu segera diperiksa, terutama jika disertai mata merah, ruam, bibir pecah-pecah, atau tangan dan kaki bengkak. Diagnosis PFAPA sebelumnya bukan alasan untuk mengabaikan penyakit baru dengan gejala yang berbeda.
