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
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, 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
Fever of unknown origin is a rare condition after solid organ transplant and is generally associated with atypical infections (eg, tuberculosis, fungal infections) and/or lymphoproliferative disorders. Here, we present a kidney transplant patient with a late diagnosis of E148Q mutation-positive
Chronic constipation is a common clinical condition that frequently does not respond to routine therapeutic measures. We hypothesized that colchicine would be effective in this condition because we reported that it stimulates intestinal motility in rats and commonly causes diarrhea in patients
Parenteral treatments (either subcutaneous or intravenous) are frequently used in rheumatology practice. In this study, drug side effects in patients who were followed up with a rheumatic disease and treated with parenteral administration methods were evaluated. The drug side effects in children who
Periodic fever, aphthosis, pharyngitis, and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome is a periodic fever syndrome of childhood with an unknown etiology. Our aim was to compare the features between PFAPA syndrome patients from Turkey and those from the US, and patients with and without MEFV variants, and to test
Amyloidosis is defined as the extracellular deposition of non-branching fibrils composed of a variety of serum-protein precursors. Secondary amyloidosis is associated with several chronic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatologic or intestinal diseases, familial Mediterranean fever, or chronic
We studied the results of renal transplantation in 16 patients with renal amyloidosis and in 46 controls with primary glomerulonephritis. Amyloidosis was primary in five and secondary to familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in 11. All patients received live related donor kidneys and the majority had
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP), also called encapsulating peritonitis, is a rare and benign cause of intestinal obstruction of unknown etiology. Its onset may be acute or subacute although there are some reports with a two-month history. More commonly, this entity is secondary to chronic
: Reporting of intoxication and withdrawal from aberrant use of over-the-counter medication has been sparse and inconsistent in literature. Attributed to their anticholinergic properties, medications such as dimenhydrinate (Gravol) taken in supratherapeutic doses have been associated with euphoria,
Continuous oral dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) treatment (7-15 g/day) was given to 3 patients with amyloidosis of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), 3 patients with idiopathic amyloidosis, and 7 patients with secondary amyloidosis. The nephrotic syndrome and various degrees of renal insufficiency were
BACKGROUND
Colchicine is used as an anti-inflammatory drug in the treatment of gout, familial Mediterranean fever, and Behçet disease. However, because of its potent inhibition of mitosis, adverse effects and symptoms of intoxication are frequent. Clinical manifestations of colchicine intoxication
BACKGROUND
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease. Since current treatments are unsatisfactory for many patients, there is a high need for effective drugs for this debilitating disease. Recent pathogenic insights suggest inflammasome activation and IL-1β production are
