An unusual presentation of familial Mediterranean fever with prolonged hip pain and amyloidosis
Özet
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent self-limiting attacks of joint, chest and abdominal associated with fever. We present an unusual case of FMF with prolonged arthritis and amyloidosis. Familial Mediterranean fever should be considered in the differential diagnosis of prolonged hip pain, even in the absence of symptoms or signs of FMF.
