Case Series: Familial Mediterranean fever and ankylosing spondylitis: A rare togetherness

Abstract

Some seronegative spondyloarthritis cases with familial Mediterranean fever disease, ankylosing spondylitis may show clinical course. There are a limited number of publications in the literature regarding the association of sacroiliitis with Familial Mediterranean fever. In this study, four patients with clinical and radiological findings of ankylosing spondylitis were presented from 60 patients followed by familial Mediterranean fever between February 2015 and October 2016. It was aimed to emphasize the suspicion of ankylosing spondylitis in patients with familial Mediterranean fever with this case series, in case of clinical signs of gluteal pain and low back pain which can be evaluated in favor of sacroiliitis.
