Hi there,

I just joined this group to learn more about Evans as my son's doctor
told us it is a possibility. I read your post and my son having fevers
was the exact reason we started this whole thing in the first place. He
gets fevers with body aches/pains and they last for a day and then go
away. We have found through many blood tests, his WBC is always low, it
was as low as 2.2 a couple of months ago. He is also positive ANA (anit-
neutron antibodies) and the preliminary test results for his anti-
neutrophil antibody was positive as well. So, it looks like his immune
system is attacking is WBC. My son is 7 years old.
