Abstract
Systemic immune-mediated diseases (SIDs) include autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases (AD) affecting at least two-organ systems.1 Autoinflammatory diseases refer to a growing family of conditions characterised by episodes of unprovoked inflammation in the absence of high autoantibody titres or auto reactive T lymphocytes, reflecting a primary innate immune system dysfunction.1 Conversely, autoimmune diseases are characterised by aberrant B, T and dendritic cell responses, leading to a break in tolerance against self-antigens, with predominantly cell-mediated or autoantibody-mediated responses in genetically susceptible individuals.2–11 Autoantibodies (AAbs), when detectable, can promote inflammatory responses via immune complex formation and may directly affect target organ function,10 e.g. resulting, in cardiac autoimmunity, in electrical disturbance, cardiomyocyte dysfunction or loss and heart failure.12–15 However, a dichotomous classification does not reflect clinical evidence and a continuum from purely autoinflammatory to purely autoimmune diseases should be considered (Figure 1).1
