Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I thought in everything that I read that siblings can't both have ?? My 2 1/2 year old son was diagnosed with it last year. Last week my 15 month old daughter had a high fever for 6 days, high WBC, nasty throat. All tests came back negative. My pediatrician said it is very eery the similarities between both kids. He didn't diagnose the and ID Doc. did but my pedi is learning. Her symptoms were the exact same as my son. I am sure this is going to happen again with her in a couple weeks. My son has not had a vefer in 116 days...this is a record. The ID doc did lots of tests on my son and determined it was with him. Could it be w/my daughter too? I thought that couldn't happen. I thought I had read an email lately with someone who has 2 kids with it...is that a for sure diagnosis? Any help would be appreciated!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hello, It is thrue that my two little girls (26 months) have both been diagnosis . But it as a very particular situation because they are twin and they are monozygotic. Which means that they have the same DNA. Keep cool, your daughter had high fever only one time it can happen to everybody. It is too early to be afraid! A lot of children have fever from time to time without endure a lot of test. You are particularly worry because of your experience with your older son. But I am sure that if she was your first child you would not be so anxious. > > I thought in everything that I read that siblings can't both have > ??

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 THERE are NO documented cases of in two children within the same family. All cases where two children had periodic fevers ended up having one of the genetic disorders such as FMF, HIDs or TRAPs. Please do not panic. First off has your diagnosed child had all the DNA studies? God Bless Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
