Here's the wikipedia definition: The periodic fever syndromes (also known as autoinflammatory syndromes) are a set of disorders, many of which are genetic disorders in which the mechanisms which initiate and control inflammation are disturbed, leading to uncontrolled inflammation throughout the body. The syndromes are diverse, but tend to cause fever, joint pains, abdominal pains and may lead to chronic complications such as amyloidosis.[1]
Restated, autoinflammatory syndromes are a group of inherited disorders characterized by bouts of inflammatory skin lesions and periodic fevers.[2]:148
Periodic fever syndromes are medically distinct from immunodeficiency conditions, in which infections can occur frequently and induce fever.
