Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and Behçet's disease are relatively rare but may still coexist in the same patient. Sacroiliitis is another feature whose significance is controversial in either of the diseases. We report a case of longstanding FMF with sacroiliitis who later developed typical
Familial Mediterranean fever is a polysystemic disease seen most frequently in persons of Mediterranean ancestry. Arthritis is one of the common manifestations. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic sacroiliitis have been reported in adults. We report on two children with familial Mediterranean fever
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by recurrent fever and episodes of serositis. The condition is known to be caused by mutations in the MEFV (Mediterranean FeVer) gene, located in the short arm of chromosome 16.
BACKGROUND
Effectiveness of anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents in colchicine-resistant familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients has attracted attention in recent years.
OBJECTIVE
We analyzed the effect of anti-TNF agents on clinical findings of colchicine-resistant FMF patients with
The coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) has been rarely seen in case reports in the literature. Herein, we wanted to present a patient who had been followed up and treated as RA, but on investigation we concluded that he really had FMF and its joint
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessively transmitted disease characterized by attacks of fever and serositis. The course of arthritis, which is a common manifestation of FMF, is generally benign. Sacroiliitis due to FMF has been reported by several authors, but all the patients
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a multisystemic autosomal recessive disease, occasionally accompanied by sacroiliitis. Transient and non-erosive arthritis of the large joints is the most frequent articular involvement. Amyloidosis is also the most significant complication of FMF, leading to
METHODS
Single case report.
OBJECTIVE
To present an unusual cause of fever in a patient with spinal cord injury (SCI).
METHODS
University Hospital, Belgium.
METHODS
A 52-year-old man with a complete T9 paraplegia was admitted to hospital with a 7 day history of fever above 39 degrees C without pain
A 15-year-old girl of Turkish descent had for one year complained of severe recurrent fever-associated deep back pains. Since she was three years of age she had suffered from repeated attacks of fever and severe abdominal pain which ceased spontaneously in 1-3 days. On physical examination the
Background and objectives: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal-recessive auto-inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of fever with serositis. Sacroiliitis associated with FMF is very rare, especially in children. We aimed to
The objective of this study was to investigate the frequency of sacroiliitis in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients and the role of HLA-B27 and MEFV mutations in the development of sacroiliitis. The study group consisted of 256 FMF patients (male 128, female 128, mean age 27.2 +/- 6.3
OBJECTIVE
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease, characterized by recurrent, self-limited attacks of fever with serositis. Various diseases were reported to be associated with FMF. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and characteristics of
OBJECTIVE
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common autoinflammatory disease manifesting with self-limited recurrent febrile attacks and polyserositis. Acute recurrent monoarthritis is the most common form of musculoskeletal involvement in FMF; however, up to 5% of FMF patients may
