A Case of Recurrent Fever with Chest and Abdominal Pain -A Rare Presentation of Autoinflammatory Disease

A 28-year-old male patient who presented to our clinic with recurrent fever along with chest pain and abdominal pain. His electrocardiogram test was normal. Due to incomplete intestinal obstruction, initially, laparotomy was considered for the patient. Based on the family history with repeated fever and abdominal pain in two of his second degree relatives, we timely carried out second-generation gene sequencing as the diagnosis of TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) was highly suspicious. Genetic testing was positive and heterozygous for the TRAPS sequence mutation (the mutant gene was TNFRSF1A), hence, we successfully avoided surgical intervention. Here, we discussed the diagnosis process and current understanding of the TRAPS treatment.

A case of recurrent fever in an older man caused by Coxiella burnetii

Q fever is a zoonosis caused by the intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii. While it is mostly an asymptomatic infection, acute disease can manifest as fever associated with signs of pneumonia or hepatitis. Chronic Q fever develops in 1–5% of infected persons. Patients with a history of cardiac valve surgery, vascular prosthesis or vascular aneurysm, and to a lesser extent patients with pre-existing valvular disease, immune deficiencies, or renal insufficiency, are at highest risk. Most common manifestations are Q fever endocarditis and Q fever vascular infection. We present a case of chronic Q fever, followed by a summary of available literature.

Case of recurrent fever with late lymphadenopathy: Think of Kikuchi′s disease

Kikuchi's disease or histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, a relatively uncommon and self-limiting entity of varied manifestations including prolonged fever, is diagnosed primarily by excluding other more common causes of fever and established finally by the typical histological finding on lymph node biopsy. The appearance of palpable lymph nodes may be delayed and become clinically detectable only after the initial fever subsides, and the patient having spent a few days without fever comes back with episodes of recurrent fever before the lymph nodes become clinically palpable. One such case is presented here to stress upon the importance of complete and thorough systematic clinical examination on each and every visit by the patient to the physician.

Lithium carbonate for recurrent fever and neutropenia

THERE are several well-described, although not necessarily distinct, febrile, noninfectious, recurrent illnesses with normal-intervening intervals as follows: intermittent hydrarthrosis, familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), cyclic neutropenia (cyclic hematopoiesis), and periodic hypothalamic discharge. Although many of these disorders have been recognized for years, they are often misdiagnosed and frequently are discovered only after long and difficult diagnostic evaluation.1No specific origins characterize these disorders, and effective drug therapy is available for only two of these disorders: colchicine for FMF2and prednisone for cyclic neutropenia.3We report a case of recurrent fever and neutropenia that responded to therapy with lithium carbonate. The control of human body temperature is complicated and has recently been reviewed.4In patients with recurrent fevers, the following causes might be found: abnormal production or release of endogenous pyrogen from host phagocytic cells; abnormalities of the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center's response to endogenous pyrogen; or abnormalities of
