In our Centre for periodic fever syndromes, we first identified 156 patients meeting the criteria for PFAPA, but 14 were excluded (12 because they did not come to regular check-up and in 2 of them, we have confirmed familial Mediterranean fever, both clinically and genetically). The final group of patients consisted of 142 children (71 girls and 71 boys). Both genders were represented equally (50%). The characteristics of the patients are included in Demographic characteristics of the studied cohort.N, number of patients; avg., average; SD, standard deviation. We calculated the percentage representation in this table from the entire number of patients (N=142). The p-value is calculated between genders.The average age of patients in our group (counted for 01/2019) was 6.81 ± 3.03 years, we did not notice any significant differences by gender.

In the group of boys compared to girls, this age was slightly higher (2.46 ± 1.90 vs. 2.16 ± 2.14 years), but not statistically significant (p=0.27). Interestingly, almost half of the patients had first symptoms between 1
