Caffey's disease is an inflammatory skeletal disorder of infancy manifested clinically by fever, soft-tissue swelling, and constitutional signs with radiographic evidence of periosteal new bone formation. Although prevalent between 1940 and 1960, nonfamilial cases have become extraordinarily rare. The authors report the sporadic occurrence of congenital Caffey's disease in a premature infant and note an interesting association with maternal herpes zoster early during gestation. The etiology of this mysterious disease is likely to remain elusive as new cases become scarce.
卡菲病是一种婴儿期的炎症性骨骼疾病，临床症状为发热、软组织肿胀和全身症状，影像学检查有骨膜新生骨形成的证据。虽然在1940年至1960年间较为常见，但非家族性病例现已极为罕见。作者报告了一例早产儿散发性先天性卡菲病，并指出其与孕期早期母亲患带状疱疹存在有趣的关联。随着新病例变得稀少，这种神秘疾病的病因可能仍难以捉摸。
