چکیده
Introduction Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease that is prevalent among eastern Mediterranean populations, mainly non-Ashkenazi Jews, Armenians, Turks, and Arabs. Arthritis seen in FMF patients is generally acute monoarthritis which predominantly affecting the lower limbs, and it occurs during attack periods and also is a common clinical manifestation in patients with FMF alike Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies testing is useful in the diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis with high specificity. The citrulline residues are essential part of the antigenic determinants recognized by the RA antibodies.

Objective: It has been suggested that Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene mutations are also seen in certain autoimmune diseases and are related to severity of the disease activity. As most of the clinical symptoms of these inflammatory diseases are related to autoantibody positivity, we assessed autoantibody prevalence in patients with Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and investigated the relati...

Background: Controlling the pulmonary involvement, as one of the most common extra-articular consequences in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), can improve the life quality and survival rate of patients. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between disease-related inflammatory factors and the severity and type of lung involvement in patients, which is a practical step toward early detection and...
