Abstract
Blau syndrome is a monogenic inflammatory disease that classically involves the triad of arthritis, uveitis, and dermatitis. This syndrome is the familial form of early-onset sarcoidosis, and the two entities have some shared mutations in the NOD2 gene. Blau syndrome was first described in 1985 and is characterized predominantly by granulomas in the affected areas. Management remains a challenge, as Blau syndrome is rare and evidence is lacking. Here, we describe in greater detail the clinical features, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of Blau syndrome.
