Özet

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent inflammatory febrile attacks of serosal and synovial membranes. Clinical manifestations include recurrent fever, abdominal pain, chest pain, arthritis and erysipelas-like skin lesions. Cold exposure, stress, infections, fatigue, menstruation, insomnia, starvation, over nutrition and trauma can provoke the FMF attacks.
