Abstract

Epidemiological studies have revealed a higher prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). FMF and ulcerative colitis are two inflammatory disorders and are both characterized by a recurrent attacks, remission and neutrophilic infiltration at the site of injury. The FMF gene (MEFV) encodes a protein, marenostrin or pyrin, expressed in mature granulocytes. Marenostrin probably has an important role in the down regulation of inflammatory response. Inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are frequently associated with MEFV gene mutations. We report a patient who was synchronously diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and FMF.

Özet

Epidemiyolojik çalışmalar ailesel Akdeniz ateşi tanısı olan hastalarda inflamatuvar barsak hastalığı sıklığının yüksek olduğunu göstermiştir. Her iki hastalığın da, farklı histopatolojik bulgular olsa da, inflamatuvar özellik taşıdığı bilinir ve tekrarlayan ataklar, remisyon ve hasarlı alanlarda nötrofilik infiltrasyon ile karakteri-zedir. Ailevi Akdeniz ateşi ile ilişkili gen (MEFV) olgun granülosit-lerden salgılanan ve marenostrin ya da pyrin isimli bir protein aracılığı ile inflamasyonu kontrol altında tutar. İnflamatuvar barsak hastalığı yani ülseratif kolit ve Crohn hastalığı, MEFV geni ile sıklıkla ilişkilidir. Biz bu yazıda, ülseratif kolit ve ailevi Akdeniz ateşi tanısını eş zamanlı olarak koyduğumuz bir olguyu sunduk.
