Despite increasing recognition of the importance of GM-CSF in autoimmune disease, it remains unclear how GM-CSF is regulated at sites of tissue inflammation.

Synovial NK cells promote a neutrophilic inflammatory cell infiltrate, and persistent arthritis, via GM-CSF production, as deletion of NK cells, or specific ablation of GM-CSF production in NK cells, abrogated disease.

Background: Mutations in the gene encoding stimulator of interferon genes (STING) underlie a type I interferon (IFN) associated disease, STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI). Patients suffer cutaneous vasculopathy and interstitial lung disease, but are not known to suffer life-threatening infection.

Case: We describe a child who presented with pneumonia in early life, from which he recovered.
