Abstract
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by self-limited attacks of fever, peritonitis, pleuritis and/or polyarthritis, and autosomal recessive inheritance. 80-90 % of FMF cases are diagnosed before the age of 20 years. In this report, we described a female patient with FMF, symptoms starting at the age of 72 years.
