This case reinforces that TS21 is an immune dysregulation disorder and highlights the importance of considering CSS in TS21 patients, even when triggers are unclear. The positive response to IL-1 inhibition in this patient suggests that dysregulation of the IL-1 superfamily and the NLRP3 inflammasome may contribute to CSS in TS21. This finding raises the possibility of using IL-1 inhibition as a treatment approach for CSS in TS21 patients.
