PFAPA typically begins between the ages of 2 and 5 years - clockwork episodes of high fever every 3-6 weeks with aphthous ulcers, pharyngitis and cervical adenopathy, the child being entirely well in between with normal growth. Episodes abort dramatically with a single dose of prednisone (diagnostically useful), colchicine and cimetidine reduce frequency, tonsillectomy is curative in most, and the condition usually resolves spontaneously by adolescence.
