Familial Mediterranean fever—A review [PDF]
Genetics in Medicine, 2011 Familial Mediterranean fever is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. There are two phenotypes: types 1 and 2. Familial Mediterranean fever type 1 is characterized by recurrent short episodes of inflammation and serositis, including fever, peritonitis, synovitis, pleuritis, and, rarely, pericarditis.

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2016
Purpose of review Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the oldest and most common of the hereditary autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs). A large body of information has been accumulated over recent years on the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. The purpose of this review is to bring an up-to-date summary

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2008
Rickettsial disease has recently undergone an important evolution, particularly in the field of molecular genetics. This development includes Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF), a tick-borne disease caused by Rickettsia conorii. Important changes have occurred in ecologic and epidemiologic comprehension of the disease, and in the occurrence of severe ...

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most frequent periodic syndrome characterized by recurrent attacks of polyserositis. Fever, abdominal pain, chest pain, and arthritis/arthralgia are the leading symptoms. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, which primarily affects Jewish, Armenian, Turkish, and Arab populations.

The Lancet, 1996
Familial Mediterranean fever is an inherited disorder which causes episodes of severe pain and fever lasting a few days and then recurring shortly afterward. Joints, peritoneal and pleural spaces are primarily affected displaying acute inflammation and an influx of neutrophils into the inflamed area. Keywords: colchicine; amyloid; complement;

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most frequent hereditary inflammatory disease characterized by self-limited recurrent attacks of fever and serositis. It is transmitted in an autosomal recessive pattern and affects certain ethnic groups mainly Jews, Turks, Arabs, and Armenians. FMF is caused by mutations in MEFV gene, which encodes pyrin. This

Update in familial Mediterranean fever
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2021Purpose of review Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the prototypic autoinflammatory disease. Although the gene associated with the disease was identified 24 years ago, we still have to learn about the pathogenesis of its inflammation and the variation in the phenotype. In this review, we discuss some recent findings in FMF,

Mediterranean Spotted Fever in Pregnancy
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1999Mediterranean spotted fever has rarely been reported in pregnancy. We report a case occurring in a young pregnant woman, which responded well to treatment with a combination of erythromycin and rifampicin. The treatment of spotted fevers in pregnancy is discussed in detail.

Familial Mediterranean fever in Arabs
The Lancet, 2006Autoinflammatory diseases are a group of disorders characterised by seemingly unprovoked inflammation in the absence of high-titre autoantibodies or antigen-specific T cells, and include the hereditary periodic fever syndromes. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an archetypal autoinflammatory disorder, which is autosomal recessive and has a high ...
