Description Schnitzler's syndrome is an acquired auto-inflammatory disease of still unclear origin. The Strasbourg criteria were adopted (non-infectious fever, chronic urticaria, changes in the bone structure, leukocytosis and higher values of inflammatory markers - CRP and presence of monoclonal immunoglobulin mostly of type IgM, very rarely of IgG) to establish this diagnosis. The first-choice therapy for this disease is the blocking of interleukin-1 effects. In practice, the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, anakinra, is the most commonly used. Currently reports also appear of the use of other medicines blocking the effect of interleukin-1, namely canakinumab and rilonacept. We have been treating 5 patients with anakinra (108, 72, 33, 32 and 1 months) on a long-term basis.
