    Description Schnitzler syndrome is a disease in which periodic episodes of inflammation occur. It is considered an autoinflammatory disease, not an autoimmune disease, because the immune system does not mistakenly attack healthy cells. Instead, Schnitzler syndrome is believed to arise from a problem with the immune system itself. It is uncertain what causes Schnitzler syndrome, but it does not appear to be hereditary.

    Patients with Schnitzler syndrome typically experience chronic rash, relapsing fevers, pain and inflammation in the joints, enlarged lymph nodes, and an excess of certain proteins in the blood. The condition is chronic, generally without worsening, though 10-15% of people with Schnitzler syndrome experience cancerous or non-cancerous overproduction of certain types of white blood cells. There is no cure, but treatments may relieve symptoms in some individuals.

    Not confirmed as an autoimmune or autoinflammatory disease.
    No ICD-10 Code.   SNOMED Code: 402415001
