title: A child with PFAPA syndrome complicated by pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta.
abstract: We encountered a boy with periodic fever, aphthous-stomatitis, pharyngitis, adenitis syndrome, complicated by a papular rash representing pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta. Proinflammatory cytokines have been implicated in both diseases and may represent the underlying common immunologic mechanism causing the two diseases.
