<br/><br/> aicardi-goutieres syndrome (AGS) is a congenital infection - like syndrome which is recently considered to be due to an underlying interferonopathy (Rice et al. 2007; crow 2011). Historically it was first described in eight children from five families in 1984 who presented with an early onset encephalopathy intracranial calcification and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytosis despite negative serology for infection (Aicardi and Goutiėres 1984)
