Familial Mediterranean Fever. The Present-Day View of the Problem. Manifestations of Maxillofacial Area

Abstract

Periodic disease - hereditary disease spreaded among the ancient peoples of the Mediterranean coast. The questionnaire and retrospective analysis of manifestations of periodic disease for patients living in the Russian Federation was composed in the child-maxillofacial department of the MSMSU named after A.I. Evdokimov. The research of medical histories of patients let us notice that every patient needs individual treatment and prophylaxis of frequent attacks. Nowadays Russian pediatricians are poorly informed about the periodic disease. As a consequence, we have detected a large number of mistakes in the diagnosis.
