The hyperimmunoglobulinemia D and periodic fever (hyper IgD syndrome, HIDS) is defined as a disease entity consisting of recurrent high spiking fever. The disease is accompanied with lymphadenopathy, abdominal distress, headache, joint involvement, skin lesions and an elevated serum IgD level. Some reported values include >100 U/mL1,2 and also >14 mg/dL.3 Most cases of this syndrome have been reported in Europe. Drenth et al. recently identified the gene responsible for the syndrome.4 However, the pathogenesis of this syndrome remains unclear and an effective therapy has not yet been established. This report involves a Japanese boy with HIDS, successfully treated with corticosteroid therapy.
