  • Title: [Familial Mediterranean fever in a 26-year old Lebanese man].
    Author: Falleboe M, Møller A.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2000 Nov 13; 162(46):6263-4. PubMed ID: 11107992.
    Abstract:
    FMF is a hereditary disorder characterised by periodic fever and acute abdominal, chest, or joint pain. In the long term, amyloidosis may develop and eventually result in kidney failure. A 26-year-old man from Lebanon was diagnosed with FMF by genetic testing and treated with colchicine for two months. Colchicine reduced the frequency, duration, and intensity of his attacks, and thus minimised the risk of amyloidosis developing.
