The duration of attacks in males with PFAPA was longer than that in females (P\u2009=\u20090.015). During attacks, the mean acute phase reactants of PFAPA patients were higher than those of BD (P\u2009=\u20090.010). In addition, there was a statistically significant relationship between the use of colchicine and a decrease in attack frequency in BD patients at 89.29% (P\u2009=\u20090.001\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05) and in PFAPA patients at 88% (P\u2009=\u20090.001\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). Precisely, 61.67% of PFAPA (n\u2009=\u200937) and 73.33% of BD patients (n\u2009=\u200922) exhibited poor quality of life regarding daily activities and school attendance.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Limited data on the quality of life of paediatric BD and PFAPA syndrome are available. During the attacks of patients with PFAPA and BD, acute-phase reactants were higher in PFAPA patients. Colchicine is an effective medication in reducing attacks in both groups.
