This case highlights unique manifestations of NLRP3-AID, namely the absence of urticaria-like rash, eosinophilic organ infiltration, and pseudoseptic serositis. In order to avoid diagnostic delay and its dire consequences, NLRP3-AID should be suspected in patients displaying autoinflammatory features combined with serum and tissue eosinophilia and/or marked serositis, regardless of skin involvement.
