Inherited autoinflammatory diseases: a critical digest of the recent literature.

In this paper we provide a critical digest of the recent literature on inherited autoinflammatory diseases. We reviewed all the articles published during the last 24 months on monogenic autoinflammatory diseases and selected the most relevant studies regarding the pathogenesis, clinical aspects and management of these conditions. In particular, we focused the attention on the more frequent conditions, familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) and TNF-receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS).
