The mean age at first consultation was 6.9\u2009years, and the mean diagnostic delay was 3\u2009years. Consanguinity was reported in 16 cases. IgA vasculitis was associated with 33% of FMF patients, in whom the main clinical features were fever (88.8%), abdominal pain (100%), arthralgias (88.8%) and arthritis (50%), and the most frequent mutation was M694V (66%). All FMF patients were treated with colchicine. Most MKD patients were confirmed by elevated urinary mevalonic acid levels, and four of five MKD patients received targeted therapy. Chronic recurrent osteomyelitis patients were confirmed by radiological and histological analysis. Two cases of Marshall syndrome were diagnosed according to validated criteria. A case of familial pustular psoriasis was diagnosed based on histological analysis and a patient with Muckle\u2013Wells syndrome by clinical features. The outcome was favourable in 76%, partial in 13%, and three deaths were reported.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>FMF and MKD are the most reported diseases. AIDs are probably underestimated because they are unknown to clinicians. The aim of this work is to raise awareness among paediatricians about AIDs and create a network for best practice.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/rap\/rkad001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]],"date-time":"2023-01-09T13:06:56Z","timestamp":1673269616000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Spectrum of auto-inflammatory diseases in Morocco: a monocentric experience"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0247-546X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manal","family":"Souali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical Immunology, Inflammation and Allergy (LICIA), Hassan II University - Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Casablanca , Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asmaa","family":"Sakhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical Immunology, Inflammation and Allergy (LICIA), Hassan II University - Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Casablanca , Morocco"},{"name":"Pediatric Rheumatology and Internal Medicine Unit, A.
