Abstract: The hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome is characterized by early onset of attacks of periodic fever and an elevated serum polyclonal Ig D (> 100 U/ml). Symptoms during attacks include joint involvements (arthralgia/arthritis), skin lesions, swollen lymph nodes, headache and abdominal complaints (vomiting, diarrhea and pain). The ethiopathogenia is unknown. It is transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance. The hyperimmunoglobulinemia D syndrome should be distinguished from other periodic febrile syndroms such as systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, CINCA syndrome, FADA syndrome, familial mediterranean fever and adult-onset Still disease. There is no therapy for the syndrome but the prognosis is good because the frequency and severity of the attacks tends to diaeminish with age.

Abstract: The RS3P syndrome or remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema, was described in 1985 by McCarty. The description refers to a rheumatologic set of symptoms with an acute commence, with no erosive lesions, with seronegativity, affecting more frequently to elderly males and showing an excellent prognosis. These characteristics make it possible to difference from the rheumatoid arthritis and from the rheumatic polymyalgia. We present eleven cases which confirm the good prognosis already described, but we suggest the possibility of this syndrome could be a manifestation or the beginning of other possible diseases.
