Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are a heterogeneous group of conditions that lead to inappropriate responses of the innate immune system. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: rash, fevers, edema, arthritis, skin lesions, pulmonary complications, gastrointestinal irritation and hematological abnormalities. Recurrent Fever Syndrome (RFS) is a subtype of the AID. RFS is characterized as the occurrence of episodic fevers that do not have an infectious cause. Onset can range from infancy to adulthood presenting with cyclical or random attacks of fevers (above 39 degrees Celsius) and localized inflammation lasting days to months.
