Abstract

Abstract: We report two unrelated infants in whom chronic urticaria was the first clinical manifestation of cryopyrin‐associated periodic syndrome, which should be suspected in infants with early‐onset chronic urticaria, especially if there is a neutrophil‐rich infiltrate in the skin biopsy. Early diagnosis of cryopyrin‐associated periodic syndrome may lead to early and successful treatment with anti‐interleukin‐1 medications.
