🎙 Episode 17 — Autoinflammatory Diseases: Beyond Autoimmunity

In this in-depth episode of RheumRounds, Dr. Aravind Palraj unpacks the world of autoinflammatory diseases—conditions driven by the innate immune system rather than by autoantibodies or autoreactive T cells.


🔑 What you’ll learn:


  • How autoinflammation differs from autoimmunity
  • Pathophysiology of inflammasomes, IL-1, and innate cytokines
  • Clinical features of FMF, TRAPS, CAPS, Still’s disease, and DADA2
  • Diagnostic red flags and laboratory clues
  • Modern treatment strategies: colchicine, IL-1 blockers, IL-6 inhibitors, and TNF agents
  • The concept of the autoimmune–autoinflammatory spectrum



📍 Ideal for residents, postgraduates, and clinicians who want to sharpen their understanding of these fascinating syndromes and their management.
