Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is due to gain-of-function mutations in the cryopyrin gene, which determines an overactive inflammatory response. AA amyloidosis is a complication of this syndrome. A 53-year-old man was referred to us because of lower limb edema. Past history: at the
We herein report a case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with a low-grade fever, repeated cold-induced urticaria, and painful leg edemas with neutrocytosis. Because her mother also had cold-induced urticaria and her skin lesions histologically showed neutrophilic dermatitis, we suspected that
The cumulative incidence of urticaria in children is close to 10%. Two forms are described: the superficial form and the deep form, or angioedema. In young children aged under 3 years, urticaria is commonly annular and ecchymotic, and is mistaken for erythema multiforme or acute hemorrhagic edema.
During the first attacks of familial Mediterranean fever, each of the disease symptoms can suggest a series of disorders. When the disease is older, the recurrence of symptoms may simulate some systemic diseases, but mainly suggests familial Mediterranean fever, one of a group of hereditary
Mutations in the cold-induced autoinflammatory syndrome 1 (CIAS1) gene are associated with a spectrum of autoinflammatory diseases, including familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome, Muckle-Wells syndrome, and chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, articular syndrome, also known as neonatal-onset
