Epidemiology and clinical features of PFAPA: a retrospective cohort study of 336 patients in western Sweden.

This study adds to the understanding of the epidemiology of PFAPA syndrome by presenting incidence rates based on a large cohort and in different age groups in a population-based setting. It also shows the distribution of age of onset of PFAPA, with a peak in 1-year-olds and waning at older ages. Signs and symptoms of PFAPA syndrome were similar in children with symptom onset before vs. after 5 years of age.
