Periodic Fever Syndromes

Periodic Fever Syndromes are a group of medical conditions characterized by recurrent episodes of fever, often accompanied by other symptoms like joint pain or rash. These fevers occur in regular cycles, sometimes lasting days or weeks, followed by periods of normal health. They can be caused by genetic factors, infections, or autoimmune responses. While often challenging to diagnose, they can usually be managed with medication. Common types include Familial Mediterranean Fever and Still's disease. Understanding these syndromes is vital for proper treatment and improving the quality of life for those affected.
