Controlling Inflammation

Abstract

The continuous advance in the search for the cause and pathogenesis of the autoinflammatory syndromes, as well as reports of the efficacy of specific inflammation-mediator suppressors, has changed the way these syndromes are approached and treated; both the acute and long-term treatment of these diseases has improved significantly. Etiologic and pathophysiologic manipulation is and will be the future for controlling, even curing, this new and rare set of diseases.
