Abstract

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and Crohn disease are inflammatory diseases characterized by abdominal pain and fever. Although they are usually readily distinguishable, the concurrence of the conditions may pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Here in, we presented a 8-years-old boy with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) admitted to hospital with abdomen pain, weight loose, vomiting and diarrhea. He was diagnosed as Crohn disease based on clinical, laboratory and histological findings, steroid and 5-aminosalisilic acid theraphy were started. In cases of FMF with unusual clinical course, possibility of Crohn disease should be considered, especially in countries where FMF is prevalent.

Özet

Ailevi Akdeniz ateşi (FMF) ve Crohn hastalığı abdominal ağrı ve ateş ile karakterize inflamatuvar hastalıklardır. Bunlar genellikle kolayca birbirinden ayrılmakla birlikte, birlikte olma durumunda tanı ve tedavi yönünden zorluk oluşturabilirler. Biz burada hastaneye karın ağrısı, kilo kaybı, kusma ve ishal nedeniyle kabul edilen 8 yaşında bir erkek çocuk sunduk. Hasta klinik, laboratuar ve histopatolojik bulgulara dayanarak Crohn hastalığı tanısı aldı, steroid ve 5-aminosalisilik asit tedavisi başlandı. Özellikle FMF prevalansı yüksek olan ülkelerde, klinik seyri tipik olmayan FMF hastalarında Crohn hastalığı olma olasılığı göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
