Journal Title: Bagcilar Medical Bulletin - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is one of the most common autoinflammatory diseases. FMF is a disease that characterized by recurrent fever, transient and self-limiting polyserositis, responds well to the treatment of colchicine. In 95% of patients, the first attack occurs with severe abdominal pain. The first attack frequency that starts with pleuritic chest pain, pleural effusion and fever are lower than 10%. Ninety percent of the cases are younger than 20 years old. After 40 years old, it is rarely diagnosed (1.25%). In this case report; we wanted to present an FMF case diagnosed after 40 years old in the context of the patient's clinical follow-up, treatment, and literature, since it is very rare to diagnose in this age group, and unexpected complications can occur.
