Painful Diplopia as an Initial Presentation of VEXAS Syndrome.

This is a case report describing an unusual presentation of acute painful diplopia that led to the diagnosis of VEXAS syndrome. VEXAS (Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic) syndrome is an adult-onset monogenic auto-inflammatory disease due to somatic UBA1 gene mutation in haematopoietic progenitor cells. Our patient was a 67-year-old diabetic male who presented with painful eye movements associated with diplopia, left periorbital pain and swelling. Imaging revealed an inflammatory process involving multiple intra- and extra-orbital structures. The patient improved initially with a short course of intravenous steroids. However, two months later he re-presented with right facial swelling. Bone marrow biopsy demonstrated UBA1 gene mutation supporting the diagnosis of VEXAS syndrome. This case highlights a unique ocular presentation of VEXAS.

[Autoinflammatory diseases associated with IL-18]. / Maladies auto-inflammatoires associées à l'IL-18.

Autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) are conditions characterized by dysfunction of innate immunity, causing systemic inflammation and various clinical symptoms. The field of AIDs has expanded due to improved comprehension of pathophysiological mechanisms and advancements in genomics techniques. A new emerging category of AIDs is characterized by a significant increase in interleukin 18 (IL-18), a pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesized in macrophages and activated by caspase 1 via various inflammasomes. IL-18 plays a role in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity. IL-18 is involved in various functions, such as the proliferation, survival, and differentiation of immune cells, tissue infiltration of immune cells, polarization of immune responses, and production of other pro-inflammatory cytokines. This review analyzes the literature on IL-18 regarding its functions and its implications in the diagnosis and treatment of AIDs. IL-18-associated AIDs comprise Still's disease and diseases associated with mutations in NLRC4, XIAP, CDC42, and PSTPIP1, as well as IL-18BP deficiencies. With the exception of PSTPIP1-associated diseases, these conditions all carry a risk of macrophagic activation syndrome. Measuring IL-18 levels in serum can aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of these diseases. Therapies targeting IL-18 and its signaling pathways are currently under investigation.

Genetics of Acquired Cytokine Storm Syndromes : Secondary HLH Genetics.

Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) has historically been defined as a cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) occurring in the setting of triggers leading to strong and dysregulated immunological activation, without known genetic predilection. However, recent studies have suggested that existing underlying genetic factors may synergize with particular diseases and/or environmental triggers (including infection, autoimmune/autoinflammatory disorder, certain biologic therapies, or malignant transformation), leading to sHLH. With the recent advances in genetic testing technology, more patients are examined for genetic variations in primary HLH (pHLH)-associated genes, including through whole exome and whole genome sequencing. This expanding genetic and genomic evidence has revealed HLH as a more complex phenomenon, resulting from specific immune challenges in patients with a susceptible genetic background. Rather than a simple, binary definition of pHLH and sHLH, HLH represents a spectrum of diseases, from a severe complication of common infections (EBV, influenza) to early onset familial diseases that can only be cured by transplantation.

Autoinflammatory Contributors to Cytokine Storm.

Cytokine Storm is a complex and heterogeneous state of life-threatening systemic inflammation and immunopathology. Autoinflammation is a mechanistic category of immune dysregulation wherein immunopathology originates due to poor regulation of innate immunity. The growing family of monogenic Systemic Autoinflammatory Diseases (SAIDs) has been a wellspring for pathogenic insights and proof-of-principle targeted therapeutic interventions. There is surprisingly little overlap between SAID and Cytokine Storm Syndromes, and there is a great deal to be inferred from those SAID that do, and do not, consistently lead to Cytokine Storm. This chapter will summarize how illustrations of the autoinflammatory paradigm have advanced the understanding of human inflammation, including the role of autoinflammation in familial HLH. Next, it will draw from monogenic SAID, both those with strong associations with cytokine storm and those without, to illustrate how the cytokine IL-18 links innate immune dysregulation and cytokine storm.

Schnitzler-Like Syndrome Presenting With IgG Kappa Monoclonal Gammopathy: A Case Report and Review of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges.

Schnitzler syndrome (SS) is a rare autoinflammatory disorder characterized by a constellation of symptoms that include chronic urticarial rash, recurrent fever, arthralgias/arthritis, and monoclonal gammopathy, typically involving immunoglobulin M (IgM). However, cases with overlapping clinical features but lacking specific criteria fall under the umbrella of Schnitzler-like syndromes. This case report describes a 40-year-old male with Schnitzer-like syndrome and underscores the diagnostic complexities and therapeutic challenges of Schnitzer-like syndrome with IgG kappa monoclonal gammopathy, highlighting the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach and targeted therapy.

Interferonopathies: From concept to clinical practice.

The horror autoinflammaticus derived from aberrant type I interferon secretion determines a special group of autoinflammatory diseases named interferonopathies. Diverse mechanisms involved in nucleic acids sensing, metabolizing or the lack of interferon signaling retro-control are responsible for the phenotypes associated to Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS), Proteasome-Associated Autoinflammatory Diseases (PRAAS), STING-Associated Vasculopathy with Infancy Onset (SAVI) and certain forms of monogenic Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This review approaches interferonopathies from the basic immunogenetic concept to diagnosis and treatment.

Plonmarlimab, a novel anti-GM-CSF blocking antibody, ameliorates disease progression in the pre-clinical model of macrophage activation syndrome.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to characterize and investigate the safety and efficacy of Plonmarlimab, a novel anti-granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (anti-GM-CSF) neutralizing antibody, on the treatment of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), a life-threatening systemic inflammatory disease, in pre-clinical models. METHODS: The binding affinity was evaluated using Biacore. The neutralizing activity was measured through the blockade of ligand-receptor interaction, inhibition of STAT5 phosphorylation and suppression of TF-1 cell proliferation. The efficacy of Plonmarlimab was evaluated in a humanized MAS model, which was established by engrafting human umbilical cord blood (UCB) cells into NOG-EXL mice. Additionally, the safety profile of Plonmarlimab was investigated in cynomolgus monkeys. RESULTS: At the molecular level, Plonmarlimab showed sub-nanomolar binding affinity with human GM-CSF and effectively blocked the binding of GM-CSF to its receptor. At the cellular level, Plonmarlimab dose-dependently inhibited intracellular STAT5 phosphorylation and suppressed GM-CSF-induced TF-1 proliferation. In the UCB-engrafted NOG-EXL MAS mouse model, Plonmarlimab treatment significantly ameliorated disease progression, demonstrated by the improvements in body weight loss, anaemia and some histopathological features. Furthermore, Plonmarlimab was well tolerated up to 150 mg/kg weekly in monkeys with no reported adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS: Plonmarlimab is a highly potent GM-CSF blocking antibody and has demonstrated promising efficacy in a pre-clinical MAS model with a favourable safety profile, supporting its clinical development.

VEXAS syndrome unveiled: a multidimensional journey from clinical presentation to management.

An 83-year-old man with a history of monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, macrocytic anemia, and cytopenias presented with hemorrhagic bullae on his left hand, alongside intermittent fevers and joint pain. Laboratory findings indicated anemia, elevated mean corpuscular volume, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and a high C-reactive protein level. A biopsy of the bullae showed neutrophilic dermatosis, and computed tomography scans of the thorax revealed lung opacities and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, suggesting neutrophilic alveolitis. Bone marrow examination found hypercellularity with myeloid and histiocytic hyperplasia, vacuolated precursors, and 3% blasts of an immature myelomonocytic lineage. Genetic testing uncovered a UBA1 mutation at an 81% allele frequency, confirming a diagnosis of VEXAS syndrome. Treatment commenced with prednisone, initiated at 60 mg daily and tapered to 10 mg, with tocilizumab considered for future symptom management. This regimen has successfully maintained remission, as observed in follow-up appointments. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity and effective management of VEXAS syndrome, underscoring the importance of genetic testing in guiding treatment decisions.

VEXAS syndrome, initially identified in 2020, is a rare disease characterized by overlapping hematologic and rheumatologic conditions, primarily affecting middle-aged to older men.Our case presents a unique instance of VEXAS syndrome, featuring inflammatory symptoms alongside pancytopenia and a history of monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, highlighting the diverse clinical spectrum of this condition.The diagnosis was confirmed through bone marrow biopsy revealing vacuoles in myeloid precursors and a UBA1 mutation, reaffirming the diagnostic criteria outlined for VEXAS syndrome.Management challenges persist, with current treatment options limited to glucocorticoids for symptomatic relief, underscoring the need for further research into targeted therapies such as ruxolitinib to improve patient outcomes.

Potential association between M694V homozygous mutation in familial Mediterranean fever and eosinophilic intestinal inflammation: a pediatric case series.

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common hereditary systemic auto-inflammatory disease. Digestive complaint is a common feature during FMF attacks. Nevertheless, digestive complaint in attack-free period has scarcely been studied. This retrospective monocentric study aimed to describe the clinical, histological, and genetic features of pediatric patients with FMF who underwent endo-colonoscopy in this setting. Out of 115 patients with a diagnosis of FMF, 10 (8, 7%) underwent endoscopy or colonoscopy. All displayed homozygote MEFV M694V mutation and presented chronic abdominal pain, iron deficiency, and/or growth retardation. On the histological level, all patients displayed low-grade mucosal inflammation, characterized by a moderate eosinophilic infiltrate in the lamina propria sometimes associated with increased crypt apoptosis. The proportion of patients explored with endoscopy or colonoscopy was 0.4 patients per year in our center, compared with 5.7 patients per year nationwide. This study identified a specific intestinal phenotype that does not respond to the criteria of classical inflammatory bowel disease: pediatric FMF pediatric patients with homozygous MEFV M694V, abdominal pain, iron deficiency, and growth retardation should benefit from specialized gastroenterological advice.

Proteomic Profiling of Tears in Blau Syndrome Patients in Identification of Potential Disease Biomarkers.

Blau syndrome (BS) is a rare autoinflammatory granulomatosis characterized by granulomatous arthritis, uveitis, and dermatitis. Ocular complications are particularly severe in BS, significantly contributing to morbidity. This study aims to identify potential biomarkers for BS ocular degeneration through proteomic profiling of tear samples from affected patients. Seven subjects from the same family, including four carriers of the BS-associated NOD2 mutation (p.E383K), were recruited alongside healthy controls. Tear samples were collected using Schirmer strips and analyzed via mass spectrometry. A total of 387 proteins were identified, with significant differences in protein expression between BS patients, healthy familial subjects, and healthy controls. Key findings include the overexpression of alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) and immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 4 (IGHG4) in BS patients. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that differentially expressed proteins are involved in acute-phase response, extracellular exosome formation, and protein binding. Notably, neutrophils' azurophilic granule components, as azurocidin (AZU1), myeloperoxidases (MPO), and defensins (DEFA3), were highly expressed in the most severely affected subject, suggesting a potential role of neutrophils in BS ocular severity. These proteins might be promising biomarkers for ocular involvement in BS, facilitating early detection and tailored treatment strategies.

D-Dimer and procalcitonin in patients with recurrent pericarditis: a prospective study.

Recurrent pericarditis, an inflammatory syndrome with a pathogenesis not fully elucidated, often presents diagnostic challenges. This study aims to assess the correlation of D-Dimer (D-D) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels with clinical, laboratory and imaging features in recurrent idiopathic pericarditis. We analyzed 412 patients with idiopathic recurrent pericarditis from 2019 to 2023 in our referral center. D-D and PCT values were obtained from emergency room in other Italian facilities. Among the cohort, PCT levels were assessed in 50 of 412 patients (12.1%), with only 4 showing marginal elevation. D-D levels were measured in 48 of 412 patients (11.6%), with 33 of them exhibiting elevated values. None of these patients had venous thromboembolism, and elevated D-D levels were significantly associated with pleural effusion, fever, higher CRP, increased white blood cell counts, higher neutrophil counts, reduced relative lymphocyte counts. Multivariate analysis revealed fever as the sole correlate of elevated D-D. PCT elevation was infrequent and unrelated to any variables. In idiopathic recurrent pericarditis unrelated to specific conditions, we observed a close association between elevated D-D levels and non-specific inflammation markers, including fever, increased CRP, and neutrophil leukocytosis. PCT levels were typically normal or mildly elevated.

Deficiency of Adenosine Deaminase 2.

Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) deficiency is an autosomal recessively inherited autoinflammatory disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the ADA2 gene. Although the pathogenesis involves triggering of a proinflammatory cascade due to increased production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and the process of neutrophil extracellular traps formation (NETosis) dysregulation resulting from an excess accumulation of extracellular adenosine, the pathogenetic mechanism still needs further clarification, due to the broad clinical spectrum. In addition to the initially described vasculitis-related symptoms, hematologic, immunologic, and autoinflammatory symptoms are now well-recognized. The diagnosis is made by demonstration of pathogenic variants of ADA2 with biallelic loss of function and identification of low plasma ADA2 catalytic activity. Currently, TNF alpha inhibitors are the treatment of choice for controlling vasculitis manifestations and preventing strokes. In patients presenting with severe hematologic findings, TNF alpha inhibitors are not the treatment of choice, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been shown to be successful in selected cases. Recombinant ADA2 protein and gene therapy are promising treatment modalities for the future. In conclusion, ADA2 has a broad phenotype and should be considered in the differential diagnosis in different clinical situations. In this review, we aimed to summarize the disease manifestations of ADA2 deficiency and available treatment options.

Endoscopic characterization of gastrointestinal manifestations in children with undifferentiated recurrent fever.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Systemic autoinflammatory diseases are characterized by recurrent or chronic inflammation, and monogenic forms are increasingly defined. However, a group of patients without genetic diagnosis is called the syndrome of undifferentiated recurrent fever (SURF). This study analyzed the clinical and endoscopic features of patients with SURF presenting with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 2019 and 2022, GI endoscopy were performed in patients with SURF who presented with GI symptoms. Clinical, genetic, laboratory, and endoscopy findings were analyzed. RESULTS: Fifteen patients were included in the study, eight (53.3 %) were girls. The mean age was 10.5 ± 5.80 years, and the median age at symptom onset was 4 (0.3-16) years. All patients experienced fever and abdominal pain. Thirteen patients (86.7 %) experienced diarrhea, 11 (73.3 %) reported myalgia, and 10 (66.7 %) had joint involvement. Lymphoid follicles in the terminal ileum mucosa were detected in 10 patients (66.7 %), and nodular lymphoid hyperplasia in the terminal ileum was the histopathological finding in 12 patients (80 %). CONCLUSIONS: The current study found that patients with SURF experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms have excessive lymph node formation in the terminal ileal mucosa due to an exaggerated inflammatory response. This may be the cause of their GI symptoms.

Pyrin-associated autoinflammation with neutrophilic dermatosis: A case report.

Pyrin-associated autoinflammation with neutrophilic dermatosis (PAAND) is a rare, monogenic, autoinflammatory disorder caused by mutations in exon 2 of the MEFV gene. Characterized by neutrophilic dermatosis, recurrent fever, and arthralgia, this syndrome presents a diagnostic challenge due to its low prevalence and varied clinical manifestations. Here, we present the case of a 49-year-old Spanish male with severe hidradenitis suppurativa and pyoderma gangrenosum with a heterozygous variant (p.E244K) in the MEFV gene, consistent with PAAND syndrome. This variant has only been documented in one other case with notable similarities. Both patients share Spanish ancestry and present a severe form of hidradenitis suppurativa. Treatment of the disorder presents challenges due to its variable response to standard therapies. Anti-interleukin-1 agents, such as anakinra or anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α are the therapeutic approaches supported by the most substantial evidence. Our findings highlight the importance of genetic evaluation of MEFV mutations in individuals with neutrophilic dermatosis and systemic symptoms.

NLRP3, NLRP6, and NLRP12 are inflammasomes with distinct expression patterns.

Inflammasomes are sensors that detect cytosolic microbial molecules or cellular damage, and in response they initiate a form of lytic regulated cell death called pyroptosis. Inflammasomes signal via homotypic protein-protein interactions where CARD or PYD domains are crucial for recruiting downstream partners. Here, we screened these domains from NLR family proteins, and found that the PYD domain of NLRP6 and NLRP12 could activate caspase-1 to induce cleavage of IL-1ß and GSDMD. Inflammasome reconstitution verified that full length NLRP6 and NLRP12 formed inflammasomes in vitro, and NLRP6 was more prone to auto-activation. NLRP6 was highly expressed in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC), but not in immune cells. Molecular phylogeny analysis found that NLRP12 was closely related to NLRP3, but the activation mechanisms are different. NLRP3 was highly expressed in monocytes and macrophages, and was modestly but appreciably expressed in neutrophils. In contrast, NLRP12 was specifically expressed in neutrophils and eosinophils, but was not detectable in macrophages. NLRP12 mutations cause a periodic fever syndrome called NLRP12 autoinflammatory disease. We found that several of these patient mutations caused spontaneous activation of caspase-1 in vitro, which likely causes their autoinflammatory disease. Different cell types have unique cellular physiology and structures which could be perturbed by a pathogen, necessitating expression of distinct inflammasome sensors to monitor for signs of infection.

Anakinra in Pyogenic Arthritis, Acne, Pyoderma Gangrenosum, and Suppurative Hidradenitis (PAPASH) Spectrum Disorder: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Pyogenic arthritis, acne, pyoderma gangrenosum, and suppurative hidradenitis (PAPASH); pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), and acne; PG, acne, hidradenitis suppurativa; and PG, acne, spondylarthritis (PASS) are all part of a spectrum of autoinflammatory disorders that share similar pathogenesis. They are related to various mutations in the proline-serine-threonine phosphatase interacting protein 1, leading to dysregulation of the innate immune system and overproduction of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-17, and IL-23 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Targeting these cytokines with biologics plays an important role in treatment. Here, we are describing the case of a young male with PAPASH syndrome who was treated with TNF-α and IL-1 inhibitor.

Yao syndrome: a novel systemic autoinflammatory disease with cutaneous manifestations.

Yao syndrome (YAOS) is a novel systemic autoinflammatory disease linked to the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD2) gene. It is characterized by periodic fevers, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, arthritis, and dermatitis, among other symptoms. A sparse literature exists on this disease, and little is known about its dermatological manifestations. A review of available literature was performed to characterize the cutaneous manifestations of Yao syndrome. Cutaneous manifestations were documented in 85.7% of patients, with common characteristic descriptions of erythematous patches and plaques involving the face, trunk, abdomen, and extremities. Based on our review of treatment modalities employed for Yao syndrome, prednisone is an appropriate initial approach, with oral sulfasalazine and other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs serving as appropriate secondary options. YAOS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with a dermatitic rash, especially in the context of concurrent articular symptoms, periodic fever, and GI symptoms.

Update on ocular manifestations of the main monogenic and polygenic autoinflammatory diseases.

Autoinflammatory diseases include disorders with a genetic cause and also complex syndromes associated to polygenic or multifactorial factors. Eye involvement is present in many of them, with different extent and severity. The present review covers ophthalmological lesions in the most prevalent monogenic autoinflammatory diseases, including FMF (familial Mediterranean fever), TRAPS (TNF receptor-associated periodic syndrome), CAPS (cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes), Blau syndrome, DADA2 (deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2), DITRA (deficiency of the interleukin-36 receptor antagonist), other monogenic disorders, including several ubiquitinopathies, interferonopathies, and the recently described ROSAH (retinal dystrophy, optic nerve edema, splenomegaly, anhidrosis, and headache) syndrome, and VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome. Among polygenic autoinflammatory diseases, ocular manifestations have been reviewed in Behçet's disease, PFAPA (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis) syndrome, Still's disease and autoinflammatory bone diseases, which encompass CRMO (chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis) and SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) syndrome.

A rare missense p.C125Y mutation in the TNFRSF1A gene identified in a Chinese family with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic fever syndrome.

Background: Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with a low incidence in Asia. The most frequent clinical manifestations include fever, rash, myalgia, joint pain and abdominal pain. Misdiagnosis rates are high because of the clinical and genetic variability of the disease. The pathogenesis of TRAPS is complex and yet to be fully defined. Early genetic diagnosis is the key to precise treatment. Methods: In this study, a Chinese family with suspected TRAPS were analyzed by genome-wide SNP genotyping, linkage analysis and targeted sequencing for identification of mutations in causative genes. To study the pathogenicity of the identified gene mutation, we performed a conservation analysis of the mutation site and protein structure analysis. Flow cytometry was used to detect TNFRSF1A shedding and quantitative real-time PCR were used to assess the activation of unfolded protein response (UPR) in the mutation carriers and healthy individuals. Results: A typical TRAPS family history, with a pattern of autosomal dominant inheritance, led to the identification of a rare mutation in the TNFRSF1A gene (c.G374A [p.Cys125Tyr]) with unknown significance. The patient responded well to corticosteroids, and long-term therapy with colchicine effectively reduced the inflammatory attacks. No amyloid complications occurred during the 6-year follow-up. In silico protein analysis showed that the mutation site is highly conversed and the mutation prevents the formation of intrachain disulfide bonds in the protein. Despite a normal shedding of the TNFRSF1A protein from stimulated monocytes in the TRAPS patients with p.C125Y mutation, the expression of CHOP and the splicing of XBP1 was significantly higher than healthy controls, suggesting the presence of an activation UPR. Conclusion: This is the first report of a Chinese family with the rare p.C125Y mutation in TNFRSF1A. The p.C125Y mutation does not result in aberrant receptor shedding, but instead is associated with an activated UPR in these TRAPS patients, which may provide new insights into the pathogenesis of this rare mutation in TRAPS.

The Multifaceted Complexity of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS): A Case Report Highlighting Atypical Gastrointestinal Manifestations.

BACKGROUND: Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome (TRAPS) is an autosomal dominant autoinflammatory disorder stemming from mutations in the TNFRSF1A gene affecting the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-1. These mutations lead to dysregulated inflammatory responses, primarily mediated by augmented interleukin (IL)-1ß release. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 29-year-old woman with a history of recurrent febrile episodes, abdominal pain, and joint manifestations, eventually diagnosed with TRAPS following genetic testing revealing a heterozygous R92Q mutation in TNFRSF1A. Further genetic examinations unveiled additional clinically significant mutations, complicating the clinical picture. Our patient exhibited delayed colonic transit time and right colonic amyloidosis, a rare complication. Surgical intervention was required for overwhelming intestinal obstruction, revealing mucosal atrophy and dense lymphocytic infiltrates on histological examination. DISCUSSION: Gastrointestinal involvement in TRAPS is common but can present diagnostic challenges. Following colon resection, histological examination revealed amyloid deposition, underscoring the importance of a comprehensive evaluation of these patients. Isolated colic amyloidosis has significant diagnostic and prognostic implications, warranting cautious monitoring and tailored management strategies. Treatment of TRAPS typically involves anti-inflammatory agents such as IL-1 inhibitors, with our patient experiencing clinical improvement on anakinra and canakinumab. CONCLUSION: This case report emphasizes the diverse manifestations of TRAPS and the importance of recognizing gastrointestinal complications, particularly isolated colic amyloidosis. Comprehensive evaluation, including histological examination, is crucial for identifying atypical disease presentations and guiding management decisions. Continued research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and optimize treatment strategies for TRAPS and its associated complications.
