Abstract

We present the case of an 11-month-old girl who presented with recurrent febrile episodes and was found to have tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome due to a novel mutation in the TNFRSF1A gene. The concept of autoinflammatory diseases is discussed and the management of this condition reviewed.
