Biological agents targeting interleukin-1 pathways to suppress the inflammatory cascade characteristic of this periodic fever syndrome. Regular laboratory monitoring for infection and blood count abnormalities is essential during treatment.

medication
3

NSAIDs and Colchicine

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs provide symptomatic relief during fever episodes, while colchicine may help reduce the frequency and severity of inflammatory flares through microtubule inhibition.
