The familial periodic fevers are Known as autoinflammatory syndromes. It is important in clinical practice to recognize these uncommon illnesses characterized by recurrent bouts of unspecific systemic symptoms associated to elevation of acute phase reactants without autoantibodies or underlying infection. The clinical suspicion supported on the molecular diagnosis represents a new perspective in relation to treatment and prognosis of these patients.
