IL-1 inhibition in Muckle-Wells-Syndrome: withdrawal resulting in rapid deterioration of hearing loss
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS), a phenotype within the spectrum of cryopyrine-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is characterized by excessive IL-1 release resulting in chronic systemic and organ-specific inflammation including sensorineural hearing loss. During continuous anti-IL-1-therapy clinical symptoms are controlled and hearing loss remains stable. Limited data exists about discontinuation of IL-1-inhibition during the course of disease.

Hypofertility in Muckle Wells syndrome and treatment with IL-1 targeting drugs
Introduction Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is an inherited autoinflammatory disease (SAID) caused by NLRP3 gene mutations, which results in excessive interleukin-1b (IL-1) secretion. MWS is characterized by recurrent bouts of systemic inflammation, resulting in fever, rash and joint pain. Main complications include sensorineural deafness and amyloidosis. Infertility was mentioned in the first des...

Purpose Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is a rare inherited autoinflammatory disease. Patients may present with fever, rash, arthralgia, or conjunctivitis. Effective treatment of MWS has become available with the advance of IL-1 inhibition preventing disease sequalae of sensorineural deafness and amyloidosis. Therefore, early diagnosis of MWS is crucial to prevent -organ damage. The aim of this stu...
متن کاملMuckle–Wells syndrome: clinical perspectives
Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is a rare autoinflammatory disorder. It is due to NLRP3 gene mutations, responsible for excessive caspase-1 activation and interleukin 1β processing. MWS is the intermediate phenotype of severity of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome. Urticarial rash, conjunctivitis, recurrent fever, arthralgia, and fatigue are the main clinical manifestations of MWS. Yet, sensor...

INTRODUCTION Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is an inherited autoinflammatory disease characterized by fever, rash, arthralgia, conjunctivitis, sensorineural deafness and potentially life-threatening amyloidosis. The NLRP3/CIAS1 E311K mutation caused a heterogeneous phenotype of MWS in a large family. This study analyzes the clinical spectrum, patterns of inflammatory parameters and reports on resp...

OBJECTIVES Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by excessive interleukin-1 (IL-1) release, resulting in recurrent fevers, sensorineural hearing loss, and amyloidosis. IL-1 inhibition with anakinra, an IL-1 receptor antagonist, improves clinical symptoms and inflammatory markers. Subclinical disease activity is commonly observed. Canakinumab, a fully human IgG...
