We have demonstrated that clinical diagnostic criteria may not always be sufficient to establish the correct diagnosis. There is still low accordance between clinical diagnoses and molecular analyses. In the case of a patient with a preliminary diagnosis of a monogenic SAID with the negative result of target gene analysis, other autoinflammatory diseases should also be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis. Key Points • Monogenic autoinflammatory diseases can present with different clinical manifestations. • The clinical diagnostic criteria may not always be sufficient to reach the correct diagnosis in autoinflammatory diseases. • In the case of a patient with a preliminary diagnosis of a monogenic SAID with the negative result of target gene analysis, other autoinflammatory diseases should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis.
