Abstract

Familial Mediterranean Fever is an autosomal recessive disease, characterized by recurrent and self-limited bouts of fever and polyserositis. Association of Familial Mediterranean Fever and other vasculitic diseases such as polyarteritis nodosa and Henoch-Schönlein vasculitis is uncommon but has been increasingly reported in the literature. Special clinical findings, genetic variation and treatment of Familial Mediterranean Fever associated vasculitis was not adequately determined. Hereby, we report a case of Familial Mediterranean Fever associated with polyarteritis nodosa presenting persistent abdominal pain.

Özet

Familyal Akdeniz Ateşi, tekrarlayıcı ateş ve poliserozit atakları ile seyreden kendi kendini sınırlayan otozomal resesif geçişli bir hastalıktır. Hastalığın Henoch-Schönlein vasküliti ve poliarteritis nodosa gibi vaskülitlerle birlikteliği nadir olmakla birlikte artan sıklıkta literatürde bildirilmektedir. Familyal Akdeniz Ateşli hastalarda vaskülit için belirleyici olabilecek klinik bulgular, genetik özellikler ve bu hastaların tedavisi henüz kesin olarak belirlenememiştir. Bu makalede genetik olarak tanı konmuş ve persistan karın ağrısı yakınması ile vaskülit düşünülerek poliarteritis nodosa saptanmış bir olgu sunulmuştur.
