Chronic Autoimmune Meningoencephalitis and Periodic Fever Syndrome Treated with Anakinra
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the case of a 63-year-old male diagnosed with chronic autoimmune mediated meningoencephalitis and periodic cyclical fever syndrome. After 2 years of failed conventional treatment and recurrent hospitalizations, anakinra treatment (an interleukin-1 [IL-1] receptor antagonist) was trialed which resulted in full recovery. As evidenced by this case, anakinra can be used to treat chronic autoimmune meningitis, which can often be refractory to treatment.

متن کاملBiologic drugs in autoinflammatory syndromes.
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Inherited autoinflammatory syndromes are conditions caused by mutations of proteins playing a pivotal role in the regulation of the innate immunity leading to an uncontrolled inflammation. The understanding of the molecular pathways involved in these disorders has shed a new light on the pattern of activation and maintenance of the inflammatory response and disclosed new m...
