Infantile cortical hyperostosis (Caffey disease) is characterized by radiological evidence of cortical hyperostosis, soft tissue swellings, fever and irritability. We report a case of Caffey disease highlighting its presentation with thrombocytosis and high serum immunoglobulin level to alert physicians to use steroids cautiously in view of the known thrombocythemic effect of the drug. Raised Immunoglobulin also suggests that this syndrome could be infectious in origin.
婴儿皮质增生症（卡菲病）的特征为皮质增生的影像学证据、软组织肿胀、发热及易激惹。我们报告一例卡菲病病例，强调其伴有血小板增多症及血清免疫球蛋白水平升高的表现，以提醒医生鉴于该药物已知的血小板增多效应而谨慎使用类固醇。免疫球蛋白升高也提示该综合征可能起源于感染。
