Lesson of the month 1: Autoinflammatory syndromes - an unusual cause of pyrexia of unknown origin.

Ravi Varma1, Gary Campbell2, Helen Baxendale3.   

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.
