Introduction: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease considered to be the most common entity of a rare group of disorders known as auto-inflammatory syndromes which have acute presentations in emergency settings. Methods: A search of Web of Science, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and PubMed databases for articles published before January 2019 was performed using relevant keywords. Full-text English articles, including review articles, case series, and experimental studies, were evaluated. Unrelated studies were excluded. Based on the selected keywords, 440 studies were selected for review. Ultimately, 60 met the study criteria for final assessment. Results: Given the various symptoms and the multiplicity of differential diagnoses, physicians may easily miss diagnosing FMF. Accordingly, emergency medical staff must be trained in order to significantly reduce the number of medical errors and economic costs and to improve the quality of life of involved patients. Conclusion: Although FMF is already known to be an inflammatory entity, more study and investigation of it is required. There is an educational gap in both medical and general populations that should be filled by using new genetic testing and providing appropriate social and medical education.

relation to population these figures do not differ greatly from those in England, where only 23 terminations were performed after 24 weeks in 1989. They also suggest that obstetricians use Glover's "ascending slope" view of the consideration to be accorded to the fetus,3 and that 24 weeks is near the top of the slope. This may well be due to the fact that though termination in the second trimester can be accomplished surgically or by use of hormones to cause the expulsion of a non-viable fetus, in the third trimester the obstetrician would have to take active steps to cause fetal death-for example, intracardiac injection.Liberalisation of the law will probably not be used extensively to increase the number of late terminations. Nevertheless, the knowledge that a carefully considered, well documented termination for fetal malformation diagnosed after 24 weeks will fall within the scope of the abortion legislation is welcome.
