Clinical features Treatment
CAPS[38, 53] NLRP3, NLRP3 (cryopyrin) Autosomal dominant Fever, rigors, urticaria-like rash, arthralgia/arthritis, headache, conjunctivitis
FCAS: episodes lasting < 24 h; cold-induced
Muckle-Wells syndrome: episodes lasting 1–2 d; progressive neurosensory hearing loss
NOMID: chronic daily symptoms; bony overgrowth of knees, chronic aseptic meningitis, papilledema, uveitis, developmental delay, seizures
IL-1 blockade
FCAS: anakinra, canakinumab, rilonacept
Muckle-Wells syndrome: anakinra, canakinumab, rilonacept
