Presentation of familial Mediterranean fever in a heterozygous MEFV mutation triggered by immunosuppressive therapy for myelodysplastic syndrome.

International journal of hematology - 1 Jul 2009

Sasaki Ko, Tahara Toshiyuki, Mitani Kinuko

Abstract excerpt

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a recessively inherited disease characterized by recurrent episodes of systemic inflammation. The cause of this disease is the mutations affecting both the alleles of MEFV gene. We describe here a case in a heterozygous MEFV mutation complicated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Clinical symptoms and the effectiveness of colchicines in this patient are typical for FMF. The...
