Este întâlnit cu precădere la copiii preșcolari, fiind cea mai frecventă cauză de febră periodică la această vârstă. Pacienții sunt asimptomatici între episoadele febrile, iar creșterea și dezvoltarea sunt neafectate. Diagnosticul este clinic, prin excluderea altor cauze de febră periodică la copil. Examinările de laborator sunt nespecifice şi constau în reactanți de fază acută pozitivi) proteina C-reactivă cu valori crescute, leucocitoză). Tratamentul include administrarea orală de corticosteroizi şi amigdalectomia. Cuvinte cheie: febră periodică, stomatită, adenopatii, faringită, copil Marshall Syndrome (PFAPA) cause of periodic fever in children Abstract Marshall syndome or PFAPA (Periodic Fever, Aphthous lesions, Pharyngitis, cervical Adenitis) is a periodic fever syndrome including recurrent episodes of high fever, cervical adenitis, pharyngitis and aphthous stomatitis which is diagnosed in children. This disease is the most frequent cause of periodic fever in children. The patients have no clinical symptoms between episodes and the neurological and physical development is normal. Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and laboratory parameters are unspecific. Treatment includes oral corticosteroids and tonsillectomy. Key words: periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, adenitis, pharyngitis * Autor corespondent: Cecilia Lazea, Clinica Pediatrie I, str.moţilor nr.68, Cluj-Napoca, tel , , cecilialazea@umfcluj.ro; cicilazearo@yahoo.com Articol primit în , acceptat: , publicat: Citare: Lazea C, Lazăr C, Popa A.

2 Revista de medicină școlară și universitară Sindromul Marshall sau PFAPA aparține grupului de boli autoinflamatorii cu apariție în copilărie, a fost descris în anul 1987 de către Marshall şi colab. și constă în repetate episoade febrile asociate cu faringită, adenopatii cervicale, afte bucale și leucocitoză. Aceste manifestări apar cu precădere la copiii cu vârsta mai mică de 5 ani. Episoadele febrile se caracterizează prin valori crescute ale temperaturii ( C), apariție repetată la intervale de timp oarecum fixe, în medie între 2 și 8 săptămâni și care durează 3-6 zile. Febra este însoțită de adenopatii cu localizare latero-cervicală, faringită şi afte bucale. Frecvent sunt prezente și alte semne clinice: alterarea stării generale, cefalee, artralgii, mialgii, greţuri, vărsături, dureri abdominale, hepatosplenomegalie. Între episoadele febrile copiii sunt asimptomatici, iar dezvoltarea somatică şi neurologică nu este afectată [1-7]. Dacă în urmă cu câteva decenii, această boală era aproape necunoscută în practica pediatrică curentă din țara noastră în prezent este din ce în ce mai frecvent diagnosticată, evitându-se astfel supunerea copiilor la cure repetate și inutile de antibioterapie. În mod frecvent, până la stabilirea diagnosticului de PFAPA, majoritatea copiilor urmau mai mult de 5-6 tratamente cu antibiotice în decursul a 12 luni, episoadele fiind interpretate ca și faringite de etiologie bacteriană. De foarte multe ori, părinții copiilor sunt cei care semnalează similaritatea episoadelor febrile, Tabel 1.Criterii diagnos ce în PFAPA [2] acest fapt constituind un argument prețios pentru stabilirea diagnosticului. Etiopatogeneza acestei boli este incomplet cunoscută, fiind descrise mai multe teorii patogenetice: cea multifactorială în care se presupune interacțiunea dintre unele antigene virale sau bacteriene cu un anumit profil imunologic și cea poligenică. Unele studii au demonstrat existența unei activări permanente a citokinelor proinflamatorii care înregistrează valori crescute, în dezechilibru cu nivelul citokinelor antiinflamatorii, al căror răspuns este diminuat [4,8,9]. Condiționarea genetică a acestei boli este demonstrată de decelarea unor mutații la nivelul unor gene care determină apariția altor boli autoinflamatorii cu determinism monogenic [4, 9-11]. Cu toate că diagnosticul este eminamente clinic, examinările de laborator chiar nespecifiece sunt utile pentru excluderea altor cauze de sindrom febril și se înregistrează valori crescute ale VSH, proteinei C reactive şi leucocitelor. În timpul episoadelor febrile se mai constată reducerea numărului de eozinofile şi creşterea numărului de monocite [12]. Citokinele proinflamatorii înregistrează valori crescute chiar și între episoadele febrile [13,14]. Un marker diagnostic util este reprezentat de procalcitonină care este de obicei negativă în cursul episoadelor febrile [15-18]. Criteriile diagnostice au fost formulate de Thomas şi colab. în 1999 (tabelul 1). Febră recurentă cu debut sub vârsta de 5 ani, plus cel puţin unul din următoarele semne clinice: stomatită aftoasă faringită adenopatie cervicală Absenţa completă a simptomelor între pusee Creştere şi dezvoltare normală Excluderea infecțiilor respiratorii și a neutropeniei ciclice Diagnosticul diferențial se impune a fi efectuat cu alte boli autoinflamatorii care au ca și principal simptom febra periodică (tabelul 2). 30

Tratamentul vizează în principal febra, însă antipireticele uzuale (acetaminofen, antiinflamatoare nonsteroidiene) au efect redus în combaterea acesteia. S-a constatat ca administrarea unei singure doze de corticosteroizi (prednison sau betametazona) p.o. la debutul febrei, conduce la dispariția acesteia în câteva ore (maxim 12-24h). Uneori, dacă o primă doză nu reușește să controleze simptomatologia, este necesară a nouă administrare la interval de 12h. Cu toate acestea, corticosteroizii cu administrare orală nu influenţează evoluţia ulterioară a bolii şi nu previn recurenţele. În unele situații s-a înregistrat reducerea intervalului dintre episoadele febrile. Dozele utilizate sunt de 0,5-1 mg/kg/doză Prednison și respectiv 0,1-0,2mg/kg/doză Betametazonă. Alte medicamente utilizate sunt: Cimetidina (datorită efectului său imunomodulator) însă cu rezultate reduse; Colchicina care poate conduce la creșterea intervalului dintre atacurile febrile, astfel încât există autori care recomandă administrarea acesteia pentru prevenirea recurențelor în special la copiii la care administrarea corticosteroizilor reduce intervalul dintre episoadele febrile; Anakinra care a fost 31

4 Revista de medicină școlară și universitară utilizată în cazuri selectate, neinfluențate de administarea corticosteroizilor și colchicinei [3,4,19,20]. O altă posibilitate terapeutică este reprezentată de amigdalectomie, însă există numeroase controverse în literatura de specialitate. În favoarea amigdalectomiei pledează mărirea intervalului dintre atacurile febrile și reducerea severității simptomatologiei sau chiar dispariția recurențelor febrile la pacienții amigdalectomizați. Împotriva amigdalectomiei pledează caracterul autolimitat al bolii și posibila reapariție a atacurilor febrile după o perioadă variabilă de absența a simptomelor sau chiar persistența acestora imediat postamigdalectomie [21-24]. În consecință, amigdalectomia este recomandată în cazul pacienților la care terapia cu corticosteroizi este ineficientă și frecvența atacurilor febrile este mare. Evoluție Boala are un caracter autolimitat, frecvența episoadelor febrile scade în timp, iar după vârsta de 9-11 ani se înregistrează dispariția acestora. Cu toate acestea, există însă cazuri descrise şi la adulţi şi cazuri cu agregare familială [5,25-30]. Bibliografie 1. Marshall GS, Edwards KM, Butler J, Lawton AR.
