NCT ID NCT05656365

Summary

This study aims to understand why some people, especially children, develop PFAPA syndrome—a condition causing recurring fevers, sore throats, and mouth sores—and other tonsil disorders. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, and other samples from 1500 participants to look for common genetic, immune system, or microbial factors. The goal is to learn what causes these conditions to help guide future treatments.
