Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To describe the role of molecular analysis in the diagnosis of an unusual presentation of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). CASE REPORT: Two patients presenting with prolonged fever without signs and symptoms of serositis are described. FMF was diagnosed by genetic analysis, which disclosed that both patients were homozygous for the M694V mutation of the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene. CONCLUSION:...
