[quote=Anonymous]OP here--PP with 19 year old. Does he have any symptoms besides fever? Definitely autoimmune diseases can cause fever, typically at onset, but they are generally low. My DD has spinal arthritis. According to medical literature, that is co-morbid in 10 to 15 percent of people with FMF;those patients are almost always HLA B-27 negative. The autoimmune disease most noted for fever is lupus, According to Hopkins, these fevers do not reach 101. But i would think they surely have already done an ANA on your DS. As you may be able to tell, dealing with DD's symptoms has been a years long journey and I have spent a lot of time reading up on various diseases to try to track things down. Happy to lend my skills if you have more symptoms I could look into. (PS Even weird symptoms that don't seem to mean much. My DD would complain that her heel and rib hurt, and it seemed so random. Turns out that both are signs of spinal arthritis, but you have to really search deep to find that out.)[/quote]
