ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo study the clinical characteristics of the temperature instability in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). MethodsThe clinical characteristics of one case of PWS with recurrent fever were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsA 5-month-old boy who had such clinical characteristics as low central muscle tension, sucking weakness, feeding dififculties, cryptorchidism and white skin was diagnosed as PWS by chromosomal microarray analysis and methylation-speciifc PCR. In the course of the disease, the infant presented recurrent fever. The pathogenic bacteria culture and virus antibody detection showed negative, and the treatment of reducing fever, anti-infection and immune support were ineffective.ConclusionsThe cause of the recurrent fever is unknown and central fever is suspected. Whether the temperature instability is the clinical feature of PWS still needs a lot of clinical researches.
