 '''Periodic Fever Syndrome''' is a group of [[autoinflammatory diseases]] characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and inflammation with no known cause. These syndromes are often genetic and typically manifest in childhood. The most common types of periodic fever syndromes include [[Familial Mediterranean Fever]], [[Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Associated Periodic Syndrome]] (TRAPS), [[Hyperimmunoglobulin D Syndrome]] (HIDS), and [[Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes]] (CAPS).
 == Symptoms ==
 The primary symptom of periodic fever syndromes is recurrent episodes of fever that last from a few hours to a few days. Other symptoms can include [[abdominal pain]], [[chest pain]], [[joint pain]], [[rashes]], and [[swelling]] in the affected areas. The severity and duration of these symptoms can vary greatly from person to person.
 == Causes ==
 Periodic fever syndromes are usually caused by mutations in certain [[genes]] that regulate the body's [[immune response]]. These mutations can lead to uncontrolled inflammation, resulting in the characteristic symptoms of the disease. Most of these syndromes are inherited in an [[autosomal dominant]] or [[autosomal recessive]] manner.
 == Diagnosis ==
 Diagnosis of periodic fever syndromes can be challenging due to the intermittent nature of the symptoms and the lack of specific diagnostic tests. Diagnosis is usually based on the patient's medical history, physical examination, and the exclusion of other conditions. Genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis in some cases.
 == Treatment ==
 Treatment for periodic fever syndromes primarily involves managing the symptoms and preventing complications. This can include [[nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs]] (NSAIDs), [[corticosteroids]], and [[biologic therapies]] such as [[interleukin-1]] inhibitors. In severe cases, [[surgery]] may be required to remove affected organs.
