Abstract

We recently proposed a set of provisional, evidence-based, clinical criteria for the classification of children and adults patients affected by monogenic periodic fevers. These criteria, built and validated in a cohort of 1215 patients with periodic fever enrolled in the Eurofever Registry from November 2009 to February 2013, displayed a high sensitivity and specificity.

  • The classification criteria tested on patients belonging to Group A and C displayed an overall good sensitivity and specificity

  • The performance of the classification criteria in patients with nonconfirmatory genetic test are reported in Table 1 below
