Abstract

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), an autoinflammatory periodic disorder, is an autosomal recessive disease that is prevalent among eastern Mediterranean populations, mainly Sephardic Jews, Turks, Armenians and Arabs. FMF is characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and pain secondary to polyserositis, especially peritoneum, pleura and joints. The symptoms are sudden onset, usually happen before the age of 20 and generally decrease spontaneously within 1-4 days. Since a large proportion of all the FMF patients in the world live in Turkey, approach to patients with FMF in the primary care is discussed in this article

Birinci Basamakta Ailevi Akdeniz Ateşine Genel Yaklaşım

Year 2013, Volume: 5 Issue: 2, 75 - 80, 01.08.2013

Abstract

Ailevi Akdeniz Ateşi (AAA); otozomal resesif geçiş özelliği olan ve özellikle Sefardik Yahudiler, Türkler, Ermeniler ve Araplar gibi Doğu Akdeniz halklarında yaygın rastlanılan bir otoinflamatuar periyodik hastalıktır. AAA; tekrarlayan ateş ve özellikle periton, plevra ve eklemlerde, poliserözite sekonder olarak ortaya çıkan ağrı ataklarıyla karakterize bir hastalıktır. Bulgular ani başlangıçlıdır, sıklıkla 20 yaşından önce ortaya çıkar ve genellikle 1 ile 4 gün içinde kendiliğinden kaybolur. Tüm dünyadaki AAA’li hastaların büyük çoğunluğu ülkemizde görüldüğü için, birinci basamakta çalışan hekimlerin AAA’li hastalara yaklaşımı önemlidir
