RESUMEN
Autoinflammatory syndromes are a recently described group of conditions caused by mutations in multiple genes that code for proteins of the innate immune system. Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes are autoinflammatory diseases comprising three clinically overlapping disorders: familial cold urticaria syndrome, Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS), and neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease. MWS is characterized by a moderate phenotype with fever, rash, arthralgia, conjunctivitis, sensorineural deafness, and potentially life-threatening amyloidosis. We report a 5-year-old girl with MWS that manifested as a recurrent skin rash without fever episodes or intracranial hypertension with papilledema. Genetic analysis revealed a T348M mutation of the NLRPR 3 gene in the patient and her mother. She was successfully treated with the interleukin-1ß antagonist receptor anakinra.
