Abstract

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is characterized by clinically recurrent fever attacks and inflammation associated with serositis. The Mediterranean fever gene is found in 16p13.3 and its mutations are known to lead to FMF. Here, we present a patient with FMF and recurrent pericarditis who responded to colchicine treatment. Therefore, regular follow-up of FMF patients who are mutation carriers is important in terms of cardiovascular risk.
