Although the precise cause is obscure, inflammatory, immunological, or genetic determinants have been proposed. PFAPA is a disease of exclusion and requires additional common causes of fever are excluded. Although management is essentially auxiliary; use of corticosteroids, tonsillectomy and Cimetidine has been proved to be effective in few.
