Familial Mediterranean fever

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent short episodes of fever and serositis resulting in pain in the abdomen, chest, joints and muscles.

Colitis

Colitis refers to an inflammation of the colon and is often used to describe an inflammation of the large intestine (colon, cecum and rectum). Colitides may be acute and self-limited or chronic, and broadly fit into the category of digestive diseases.

Autoinflammatory diseases: mimics of autoimmunity or part of its spectrum? Case presentation.
Kiss MH, Magalhaes CS.
J Clin Immunol. 2008;28 Suppl 1:S84-9.
A case series is reviewed to illustrate typical and atypical features and the difficulties of these diagnoses in the low prevalence areas--a typical unrecognized case of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in a youngster, an atypical adult case with overlapping of FMF with Behcet disease, and an early presentation of FMF in infant presenting with inflammatory colitis, as well as the overlapping features within the cryopirin diseases spectrum in an 8-year-old boy who presented with systemic onset arthritis.
