Abstract
Autoinflammatory diseases are disorders of innate immunity and are characterised by recurring and unprovoked episodes of inflammation. We present a case of episodic pyrexia, associated with a significant inflammatory response, in a young man in whom the cause had remained unexplained since infancy. He was eventually diagnosed with hyperimmunoglobulinaemia D syndrome (HIDS); one of the autoinflammatory syndromes. © Royal College of Physicians 2016. All rights reserved.Entities:
