Overview
Physical examination of patients with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is usually remarkable for recurrent episodes of cold-induced fever, urticaria-like painful rash, and arthritis. Hearing loss, ophthalmologic involvement, and focal neurologic signs are more suggestive of NOMID.
Physical Examination
- Physical examination of patients with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is usually remarkable for recurrent episodes of cold-induced fever, urticaria-like painful rash, and arthritis.[1]
- The presence of Cold-induced urticarial rash on physical examination is highly suggestive of the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS).
- The presence of a cold-induced urticarial rash on physical examination is more diagnostic of FCAS.
Appearance of the Patient
- Patients with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) usually appear normal.
Vital Signs
- High-grade fever
- Tachycardia with regular pulse due to the presence of fever
- Tachypnea
Skin
- Skin examination of patients with [disease name] indicates the presence of a migratory maculopapular skin rash resembling urticaria.[2]
- The rash is non-pruritic and usually cold-induced.
- Ice cube test is negative.
HEENT
- Ophthalmoscopic exam may be abnormal with findings of conjunctivitis.[2]
- Neonatal Onset Multisystem Autoinflammatory Disease (NOMID) is especially accompanied by eye complications such as:
- Conjunctivitis
- Episcleritis
- Corneal haze
- Uveitis
- Iritis
- Papilledema
- Retinal scarring
- High arched palate and middle ear effusion have also been reported.
- Hearing acuity may be reduced especially in NOMID.
- Frontal bossing of the forehead, saddleback nose are other possible findings in NOMID.
Neck
- Neck examination of patients with [disease name] is suggestive of:[3]
Lungs
- Pulmonary examination of patients with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is usually normal.
Heart
- Cardiovascular examination of patients with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is usually normal.
Abdomen
- Abdominal examination of patients with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is usually normal. However, it may be positive for splenomegaly and/or hepatomegaly.
Back
- Back examination of patients with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is usually normal.
Genitourinary
- Genitourinary examination of patients with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is usually normal.
Neuromuscular
- Neuromuscular examination of patients with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is suggestive of:[4]
- Signs of elevated intracranial pressure
- Papilledema
- Developmental delay is especially diagnostic for NOMID.
- Neurologic examination of patients with NOMID may include focal neurologic signs due to CNS involvement.
Extremities
- Extremities examination of patients with the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is usually normal.
- However, stiffness and swelling may be observed in the affected joints.[4]
- Neonatal Onset Multisystem Autoinflammatory Disease (NOMID) may be associated with:
- Deforming arthropathy affecting especially distal of femur and patella
- Abnormal bony overgrowth of the knees
- Contractures
- Clubbing
