N1 - Funding Information:
All coding regions and intronic flanking sequences of the NLRP3 gene were amplified by PCR 2 and sequenced using ABI PRISM 3100 Genetic Analyzer (Perkin-Elmer; Foster City, CA). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were incubated 24 hours in the presence or absence of LPS (0.1 μg/mL) (Sigma-Aldrich; St Louis, MO). The cells were stained with PE-cyanin 5·1 (PC5)-conjugated anti-CD14 monoclonal antibody (Beckman Coulter; Miami, FL), and the percentage of monocytes was analyzed by flow cytometer (EPICS XL, Beckman Coulter). This study was approved by the Regional Committee of Ethics for Human Research at the Faculty of Medicine of Kyushu University.

N2 - In this report, we describe a boy who showed mild symptoms of neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease. Although his symptoms and laboratory findings were similar to those of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, further examinations revealed papilledema, meningitis, and a NLRP3 mutation. His peripheral blood monocytes died within 24 hours after lipopolysaccharide stimulation, a test that may be useful for diagnosis even in mild cases.
