Excerpt

There is great interest in having a reference chart to increase awareness and improve accurate diagnosis for systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAID), which arealso classical primary immunodeficiency diseases. We have created this wall chart that includes all currently known SAIDs, and arranged the information so that a clinician could compare various symptoms, abnormal labs, genetics, inheritance pattern, affected ethnicity and other information between all of them. In addition, photographs of the main clinical features of many of these diseases have been included to help medical professionals to better understand these diseases, and consider them in the evaluation of candidate patients. As the understanding of autoinflammatory diseases is continuously changing, this chart will probably need to be updated over time. However, the basic information for these diseases will remain helpful for medical professionals. …
