Pustular Eruptions in Children as Manifestations of Autoinflammatory Diseases

Abstract

Nowadays, in clinical practice, when attending a child with a pustular eruption and systemic inflammation, it is mandatory to think of an autoinflammatory disease, once infectious causes have been ruled out. Although rare, autoinflammatory disease must be recognized as early as possible, accurately diagnosed (including gene testing), and treated with targeted therapy if available.
