History of the present illness: A four-year-old female presented to our pediatric rheumatology clinic with chief complaint of periodic fevers and abdominal pain. Fevers began 4 months prior to presentation following a documented streptococcal pharyngeal infection, with a maximum temperature of 104F. They occurred every 1-2 weeks and would then last 4-6 hours. Fevers were followed by severe abdominal pain that prevented eating. She did not have associated emesis, diarrhea, or constipation.
