Familial Mediterranean Fever

Abstract: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease that affects mainly the people of Jewish, Arabic, Turkish, and Armenian origins. FMF is a disease characterized by recurrent fever, abdominal pain, pleuritis, arthritis, and erysipelas-like skin lesion. The diagnosis of FMF is based on clinical manifestations; therefore, diagnostic difficulties are experienced in many FMF patients. This article is focused on a diagnostic approach to the FMF disease.
