Objective: We aimed to investigate the remission rate and disease duration in idiopathic or post-cardiac injury pericarditis and risk factors for disease duration and anti-interleukin-1 (IL-1) agent discontinuation.
Methods: This was a multicenter, longitudinal, observational study including 370 patients (51.4% female).

Patients with A20 haploinsufficiency (HA20) presenting with central nervous system (CNS) symptoms are rare, and available reports are limited. Here, we describe a patient with HA20, previously followed up as Behçet disease, who presented with CNS symptoms in adulthood. A 38-year-old Japanese male who had been followed up for incomplete Behçet disease at another hospital since 28 years of age presented to our hospital with acute-onset diplopia and persistent hiccups that were severe enough to cause vomiting.

Autoimmune mechanisms significantly contribute to recurrence, with interleukin-1 identified as a pivotal inflammatory mediator. While NSAIDs, colchicine, and steroids remain staples for acute cases, the spotlight in recurrent pericarditis management has shifted toward immunosuppressive medications.
