TABLE 3.
Syndrome | Duration | Positive Diagnostic Criteria | Standard/Reported Treatments | Genetics |
---|---|---|---|---|
Classical Kawasaki syndrome | Single episode or recurrent, >5 d | Four of the following symptoms: bilateral conjunctival injection, oral mucosal changes, polymorphous rash, erythema/edema of palms/soles or desquamation of fingertips/toes, cervical adenopathy | IVIg infusion, TNF inhibitorsa | No known genetic mutation |
PFAPA syndrome | Recurrent, 3–5 d, regular intervals | Aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, cervical lymphadenitis; exclusion of bacterial infection/cyclic neutropenia | Corticosteroids, colchicine, tonsillectomya | No known genetic mutation |
Hyperimmunoglobulin D syndrome (HIDS) with periodic fever | Recurrent, 3–7 d | Fever, abdominal pain, oral ulcers, arthralgia, vomiting, diarrhea | Anakinraa | Autosomal recessive defect in MVK affecting mevalonic kinase |
TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) | Recurrent, >1 wk | Fever, abdominal pain, centrifugal rash, periorbital edema, migratory arthralgia | Corticosteroids, anakinra, etanercept | Autosomal dominant defect in TNFRS1A gene affecting TNFR |
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) | Recurrent, 2 d | Sterile peritonitis with abdominal pain, monoarthritis, myalgia, erysipelas-like erythema (shins/foot) | Colchicine, Anakinraa | Autosomal recessive defect in MEFV, affecting pyrin |
Familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS) | Recurrent, <1 d | Arthralgia, cold-induced urticarial-like rash, conjunctivitis | Anakinra, rilonacept, canakinumab | Autosomal dominant defect in NLRP3, affecting cryopyrin |
Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) | Recurrent, 1–2 d | Arthralgia, generalized urticarial-like rash, conjunctivitis, sensorineural hearing loss | Anakinra, rilonacept, canakinumab | Autosomal dominant defect in NLRP3, affecting cryopyrin |
Neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) | Chronic | Neonatal onset, hepatosplenomegaly, arthropathy, generalized urticarial-like rash, uveitis, chronic aseptic meningitis, sensorineural hearing loss | Anakinra | Autosomal dominant, often sporadic defect in NLRP3, affecting cryopyrin |
TNF indicates tumor necrosis factor.
Reported therapy needing futher investigation.
