SYNDROMES MASQUERADING AS INFECTIONS
Syndromes that masquerade as infections • We will tackle questions and cases • Fever is often a presenting symptom • Or can present in a way that is similar to an infectious syndrome like pneumonia, cellulitis, wound infection, or septic arthritis • There are many; we will cover a few today
Question • A 25 yo M is referred to you for recurrent fevers lasting 2 -3 days. • Fevers are sometimes accompanied by arthralgias of the ankles • • or other joints Recurrent bouts of testicular and abdominal pain that last 24 to 48 hours. Surgery for hydrocele did not improve the pain. No pleuritis, genital ulcers, rash history of STI. Occasional oral ulcers Exam normal vital signs, no rashes, several oral aphthous ulcerations, plantar tenderness and mildly swollen knees Labs CRP of 3. 0 mg/dl (normal 0– 0. 8) and neg RF. UA showed trace proteinuria. Ferritin 300 (normal 40 -200)

Question • The most likely diagnosis is • A. Familial Mediterranean Fever • B. Adult Still’s Disease • C. Kikuchi’s Disease • D. Behcet’s disease
Familial Mediterranean Fever • Autosomal recessive • Occurs primarily in Jews, Armenians, Turks, Arabs in the Mediterranean basin, central Asia, and Japan • Can occur at any age, but 80% of cases occur before age of 20 • M: F 1. 5 -2 • Episodic attacks • last from 24 -72 hours • Moderate to high fever • Painful serositis including abdominal pain • Mutation in MEFV gene leading to alteration in pyrin protein • Treatment: colchicine
Recurrent Ulcers • 40 yo Caribbean woman referred for refractory oral ulcers. • No response to valacyclovir • Low grade fevers at home, poor appetite, weight loss • Then developed ulcers pictured at right
