Have you considered PAPA, PSTPIP1 - http://rapid.rcai.riken.jp/RAPID/diseasePhenotype?pid_id=AGID_108? At 16 months the phenotype will not have fully evolved.

Dear Juan Carlos, good morning

I would also think about the possibility of a leukocyte adhesion defect.

This group of diseases can be screened by flow cytometry, looking for
CD18 (LAD1), CD15a (Sialyl Lewis X) for LAD2, and CD18/gpIIb/3a for
LAD3 (LAD3 presents a general activation defect affecting beta1, beta2 and beta3 integrins.

On the other hand, it is also possible to think about autoinflammatory syndromes, such as NALP-3/CIAS1 deficiency, familial mediterranean fever, mevalonate kinase and NOD2 deficiencies, such as in your patient early age is sometimes very difficult to ascertain the response of fever episodes to antibiotics.
