Abstract

Urticarial rash is a hallmark symptom of autoinflammatory diseases such as Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) and Schnitzler's syndrome (SchS). Clinically, the urticarial rash may not be distinguished from the skin symptoms in chronic urticaria patients. As interleukin-1s (IL-1s) has been shown to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CAPS and SchS we here aim at investigating IL-1s and related cytokines for their potential as diagnostic skin biomarkers in patients with urticarial autoinflammatory syndromes.
