From April 1983 to September 1990, 32 patients with familial mediterranean fever (FMF) were studied. FMF is characterized by short, self-limited, febrile episodes that occur with inflammation of serosal surfaces. Major symptoms include fever and abdominal pain, presenting as acute surgical abdomen. These attacks are associated with considerable morbidity and in some patients lead to unnece...
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease caused by MEditerranean FeVer gene (MEFV) mutations. In Japan, patients with FMF have been previously reported, including a mild or incomplete form. Several factors are presumed to contribute to the variable penetrance and to the phenotypic variability of FMF. We conducted the current study to investigate the correlation of varia...
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited multisystem disease manifested by painful, febrile attacks affecting the chest, abdomen, joints, and skin. No simple studies confirm the presence of FMF, contributing to the difficulty in diagnosis. A 10-year-old boy initially presented with a diffuse rash and complaints of bilateral joint pain of the hips, knees, and ankles and pain of the rig...
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is unknown, and since no specific laboratory test is yet available, the diagnosis of FMF remains clinical. The purpose of this study was to review clinical characteristics of patients with FMF. METHODS A total of 96 patients with FMF were evaluated either retrospectively (for those diagnosed before 1997) or prospectively (for t...
Description Familial Mediterranean fever is an autosomal recessive disorder mostly prevalent in Mediterranean populations. It is characterized by recurrent selflimited episodes of fever, arthritis, serositis, and skin rash, with marked accumulations of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in affected areas during attacks. The most severe complication of the disorder is the development of amyloidosis, l...
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary condition which is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and abdominal pain. On the other hand, Behcet`s disease (BD) is an immune mediated condition typified by recurrent oral aphthous lesions, inflammatory eye disease and multiple organ involvement. Association of these two conditions is rare. We present a pair of twins with FMF and B...
ABSTRACT Two female patients, aged 23 and 25 years-old diagnosed with Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) were presented with ataxia and headache. Multiple sclerosis plaques were detected in their spinal and cranial MRI and diagnosis of multiple sclerosis was established. Genetic analysis demonstrated M694 V mutation (one homozygous and the other heterozygous) in both of the patients. Although i...

Introduction Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, ethnically restricted and commonly found among individuals of Mediterranean descent, caused by MEditerranean FeVer gene (MEFV) mutations on the chromosome 16. It is the most frequent periodic febrile syndrome among autoinflammatory syndromes. Eighty % of patients with FMF have MEFV mutations, while aro...
