Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome

Index Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome

Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a group of rare, heterogeneous autoinflammatory disease characterized by interleukin 1β-mediated systemic inflammation and clinical symptoms involving skin, joints, central nervous system, and eyes. [1]
