Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autoinflammatory diseases are a group of rare, inherited disorders with the first clinical signs presenting during childhood, leading to a significant burden on patients and their families due to uncontrolled inflammation, pain and organ damage.
Advances in research on the genetic basis and immunological mechanisms behind these diseases have enhanced our understanding of autoinflammatory diseases and introduced new treatment possibilities. According to new knowledge, diseases such as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis are categorized in the autoinflammatory spectrum of diseases.
The aims of this Special Issue is to collect original research, reviews or mini reviews, as well as editorial papers that focus on advances in the genetics, epidemiology, diagnosis and management of autoinflammatory diseases in children.
