Patient is 5-year-old white male with recurrent episodes of high fever.
Impression is period fever syndrome. Giving brief trial of cimetidine to see if this will cut off his episodes, suggesting that they are in fact s/l foppa/FOPPA
Then s/l SMF gene testing was ordered. He says this part so fast that I'm not sure there could be more initials.
Thanks.
