STING-associated vasculopathy with onset in infancy (SAVI) is a type 1 interferonopathy that is typically characterized by early onset systemic inflammation with cutaneous vasculitis and interstitial lung disease (ILD). SAVI is caused by dominant gain-of-function mutations in STING1. While skin vasculopathy is a common feature, not all SAVI patients display this phenotype, and lack of cutaneous vasculitis should not preclude evaluation for this disorder. ILD appears to be the most prominent clinical finding of SAVI. In a large worldwide cohort of SAVI patients, 21/21 patients had ILD, compared to 18/21 patients with skin vasculopathy [1]. It is also increasingly recognized that chronic interferon signaling can lead to autoimmune disease. This is the case of a Hispanic female who presented with failure to thrive, recurrent fevers, and intermittent cough with perioral cyanosis. Symptoms began at age 6 months and were attributed to recurrent viral and bacterial infections. On initial presentation to our center at 14 months old, she was hospitalized with fever and hypoxemia (O2 saturations 70%), with history of cough since age 6 months. Chest X-ray (CXR) showed prominent interstitial lung markings and she was diagnosed with pneumonia. Computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed CXR findings and ruled out anatomical anomaly.She was lost to follow-up for 2 years, then re-presented at age 3 with worsening respiratory status, with increasing coughing fits during activity and sleep. A CT scan performed at that time demonstrated worsening interstitial thickening. Immune workup, including quantitative immunoglobulins, CH50, lymphocyte subsets, and vaccine response titers (pneumococcal and tetanus), was unremarkable, except for elevated immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels. Genetic testing for surfactant dysfunction mutations was negative. Thoracoscopic lung biopsy revealed interstitial fibrosis, PAS-positive granular alveolar proteinosis, type II cell hyperplasia, and lymphoid follicles. At age 6, she was admitted for a pericardial effusion. Rheumatology was consulted for evaluation of frequent fevers and persistently elevated inflammatory markers, with concern that the pericarditis was autoinflammatory. She had an elevated ANA (> 1: 2560 homogeneous pattern, reference< 80), IL-6 (378.88 pg/mL, reference 0.31–5.00 pg/mL), and IgG (2020 mg/dL, reference 423–1090 mg/dL) at that time. She had a perinuclear ANCA pattern with positive myeloperoxidase antibodies (91.2 EIA/U, reference< 20 EIA/U). Anti dsDNA, Smith, and Scl70 were negative. She was treated with steroids and hydroxychloroquine with some improvement in oxygen requirement.
