PFAPA-syndrome in the practice of a dental surgeon

To date, in the clinical practice of a dental surgeon, patients with various diseases, anomalies and deformities are often found. At the same time, there may often be a relationship between general somatic pathology and manifestations in the oral cavity. PFAPA syndrome (Marshall syndrome) is no exception. This paper discusses the main features of the course of the disease in the oral cavity and the principles of a differentiated approach to surgical treatment. Thus, patients with Marshall syndrome have chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis, cervical lymphadenitis, pharyngitis and fever. At the same time, such patients have recurrent episodes of exacerbation every 1-2 months, which worsens the health of the oral cavity and creates certain difficulties for the dentist surgeon. Due to the high prevalence of auto-inflammatory diseases among children who often require dental care, clinicians need and need to have knowledge about this pathology.
