Cutaneous manifestations of systemic autoinflammatory disorders

Abstract

Rare systemic autoinflammatory diseases (sAIDs) are driven by cytokine-mediated uncontrolled inflammation that results from activation of innate immune pathways. sAIDs present with recurrent fever episodes, fatigue, musculoskeletal symptoms, gastrointestinal, neurologic, and skin manifestations. They include hereditary monogenic and acquired multifactorial disorders, show a significant morbidity and usually persist for life. Due to the limited awareness of sAIDs, they are often associated with a considerable delay in diagnosis. Within the last decade, the use of cytokine-neutralizing therapies has been shown to improve the clinical symptoms of many patients with different sAIDs. Because skin involvement, such as urticarial, pustular, or ulcerative eruptions, is common in a variety of autoinflammatory disorders, dermatologists should be aware of the most important diseases and their skin phenotypes. This review gives an overview on prototype sAIDs with focus on cutaneous manifestations, clinical clues, and diagnostic approaches. Effective treatment options, such as anti-interleukin-1-targeted therapies, are discussed.

Cellulitis

Cellulitis (erysipelas) is a recurring and debilitating bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissue. Discover the latest research on cellulitis here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected.
