ABSTRACT
Systemic autoinflammatory diseases are characterized by a spontaneous chronic inflammatory reaction mediated by the innate immunity. The inflammatory processes involve many organs including the skin. Diagnosis remains a challenge despite new molecular genetic methods, but early diagnosis is crucial for the prevention of long-term complications such as amyloidosis. Skin manifestations are often observed early in the course of the disease and can be decisive in the diagnosis.
