title: Etanercept and anakinra can prolong febrile episodes in patients with hyperimmunoglobulin D and periodic fever syndrome.
abstract: Hyperimmunoglobulin D and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS) is a rare, hereditary autoinflammatory condition, characterized by recurrent inflammatory episodes. There is no proven treatment for HIDS, but various drugs including, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine, steroids, statins and thalidomide have all been tried. Recently, some patients have demonstrated a good clinical response to either etanercept or anakinra. We report a case of a 10-year-old girl who experienced prolonged and severe inflammatory attacks, when she was treated with etanercept, and later with anakinra.
