Several gain-of-function variants in NLRP1 cause a distinctive autoinflammatory disease reported under different names featuring mainly skin and mucosal involvement and variable systemic signs. Here, we report a new case of NLRP1-associated autoinflammatory disease in a 6-year-old Peruvian girl, who presented with confluent hyperkeratotic plaques that drained purulent material with subsequent scarring. A c.3641C > G (p. Pro1214Arg) variant that has been previously been reported was found in NLRP1 and was not present in either parent. The term NLRP1-associated autoinflammatory disease with epithelial dyskeratosis (NADED) is proposed to encompass all reported cases, which have received different nomenclature so far.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and validate the accuracy and performance characteristics of administrative codes in diagnosing autoinflammatory syndromes (AISs).
Methods: We identified potential AIS patients from the electronic medical records at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics and the Stead Family Children's Hospital using a screening filter based on the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes and interleukin-1 antagonists. Diagnostic criteria for adult-onset Still disease, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Behçet disease (BD), familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), and SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) syndrome and chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (SAPHO-CNO) were reviewed for each patient.

Fever of unknown origin (FUO) can be a common manifestation of multiple disease processes like infections, hematological & solid organ malignancies, autoimmune disorders, and autoinflammatory diseases. Endocrine causes of FUO are rare but should be considered in differential diagnosis. We present a case of a 35-year-old female with prolonged on-and-off fever and intermittent vomiting for nine months, where extensive workups for chronic infections, malignancy, and autoimmune conditions initially yielded no definitive diagnosis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a long-term autoinflammatory condition causing joint damage and deformities, involves a multifaceted pathogenesis with genetic, epigenetic, and immune factors, including early immune aging. However, its precise cause remains elusive. Cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging marked by a permanent halt in cell division due to damage and stress, is crucial in aging and related diseases.

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex auto-inflammatory disease affecting the brain and spinal cord, which results in axonal de-myelination and symptoms including fatigue, pain, and difficulties with vision and mobility. The involvement of the immune system in the pathology of MS is well established, particularly the adaptive T cell response, and there has been a particular focus on the IL-17-producing subset of Th17 cells and their role in driving disease. However, the importance of innate immune cells has not been so well characterised.
