OBJECTIVE
Considering the etiology of cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) in childhood, a variety of underlying organic causes has been clearly identified in the literature. The aim of this study was to emphasize that endoscopic evaluation in the first step may help diagnosis and treatment in patients
Family Mediterranean fever (FMF, Periodic disease) is a hereditary autosomal recessive disease and belongs to orphan diseases. Abdominal pain syndrome in this pathology is accompanied by various complaints from the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the study was to study the state of the
Secondary amyloidosis (AA) is characterized by the extracellular tissue deposition of fibrils composed of fragments of an acute-phase reactant protein, serum amyloid A (SAA), due to chronic inflammatory diseases, infections and several neoplasms. AA amyloidosis may also complicate several hereditary
OBJECTIVE
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and inflammatory bowel disease togetherness is well described in the literature. Abdominal pain and various gastrointestinal manifestations may arise directly from FMF or secondary to FMF-associated diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease,
UNASSIGNED
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent fever attacks and serositis. Nonspecific manifestations of the FMF can mimic many common acquired disorders such as infections and acute abdomen. This can delay recognition for many
Familial Mediterranean fever is an auto inflammatory genetic disease involving especially Turks, Armenians, Arabs and non-Ashkenazi Jews and caused by variants in the MEFV gene. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the distribution and frequency of clinical, MEFV gene variants in FMF patients and the
BACKGROUND
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is one of the periodic fever syndromes. It is common among Turks, Jews, Arabs, and Armenians. Several mutations in the MEFV gene, including E148Q, have been identified as causing this disease. It has been suggested that the E148Q mutation is the mildest
A 34 year-old Turkish patient was admitted to hospital several times with the same symptoms of abdominal pain, fever up to 39.2 degrees C and vomiting. The diagnosis always was an acute attack of chronic pancreatitis. The inflammation scores in the blood were high and he had a moderate increase in
BACKGROUND
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal-recessive inherited inflammatory disease caused by mutations in the MEFV gene that encodes pyrin/marenostrin. It is characterized by recurrent short episodes of fever, abdominal pain and serositis affecting mainly Mediterranean and Middle
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical features of childhood-onset Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients and to assess the phenotype-genotype correlation. The study included patients with childhood-onset FMF that followed up over a period of 18 years in the Division of
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, ethnically restricted and commonly found among populations surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. FMF is the most prevalent autoinflammatory disease; is characterized by recurrent, self-limited episodes of fever with
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is known to be a genetic disorder that prevalent among populations surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Since Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV) was discovered at 1997, some cases have been reported in countries not related or close to this area like Japan. In addition
Familial Mediterranean Fever is an autoinflammatory disease typically expressed with recurrent attacks of fever, serositis, aphthous stomatitis, rash. Only a few reports describe the association with hepatic involvement.We describe the clinical case of a Familial Mediterranean fever, a hereditary auto-inflammatory disease, mainly affects ethnic groups living in the Mediterranean region. Early studies reported colchicine as a potential drug for preventing attacks of familial Mediterranean fever. For those people who are colchicine-resistant or
The most devastating complication of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is amyloidosis which is capable of resulting in chronic renal failure. Although amyloid deposits are frequent in adrenal glands based on the autopsies of FMF patients however; to our knowledge, symptomatic adrenal insufficiency
