Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi, does anybody deal with recurrent fevers? My son had three in the last 1 1/2 months, without any symptoms, just high fevers. All blood, urine and stool tests came back negative except CRP which was 10 instead of 1. It is somekind of infection, most likely. The infectious disease specialist talked about PFAPA, a periodic fever syndrome. We have to wait until saturday or beginning of next week since this would be the timeframe for the next fever episode. If not, they have to test further, pediatrician mentioned tumors. I am so worried, can't help. Please let me know if anybody experienced something similar. My son is turning 4 next months. Bless you, Sabine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
