ABSTRACT
This article reported a case of neonatal-onset autoinflammation with infantile enterocolitis (AIFEC) caused by NLRC4 gene mutation. The boy developed the disease in the neonatal period, presenting with recurrent fever, rash, hepatosplenomegaly and enterocolitis. Laboratory tests showed some indicators including ferritin and C-reactive protein were elevated. His condition was complicated by macrophage activation syndrome and anti-infective treatment was ineffective. High-throughput whole exome sequencing revealed a de novo heterozygous mutation of c.1021G>C (p.Val341Leu) in the NLRC4 gene and AIFEC was confirmed. AIFEC is a rare disease with no effective treatment at present, which can be developed in the neonatal period and diagnosed by whole exome sequencing.
