Abstract
PFAPA syndrome is a sporadic, difficult to diagnose, condition. Both methyl-prednisone and betamethasone have shown to be effective in controlling the symptoms during the febrile crisis. The definitive remission of the syndrome may occur in the first years of onset, although in most patients the febrile episodes continue with an increase of free intervals and attenuated symptoms, and full recovery in prepuberty or adolescence with no sequelae.
