[Fabry's disease. Rare etiology of a long-term inflammatory syndrome. Apropos of a case]. 1986

J J Dubost, and B Sauvezie, and B Galtier, and J Tixeron, and S Rampon

A man aged 54 years presented multiple symptoms (acroparesthesia, familial deafness, cardiomyopathy, diarrhea, adenopathy with infiltration of frothy macrophages, pancytopenia with a dense marrow, chronic meningitis, renal failure) associated with intermittent fever, with feverish attacks and a temperature of 40 degrees C, and with a severe biologic febrile syndrome. Fabry's disease was diagnosed only after 3 years of fruitless explorations. The reasons for this delay are analysed and it is suggested than Fabry's disease be added to the list of conditions responsible for fever or for a persistent inflammatory syndrome.
