An unusual presentation of familial Mediterranean fever with co-existing polyarteritis nodosa and acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis

2021-11-23

Abstract excerpt

The homozygous M694V mutation in the MEFV gene may cause an augmented response to the streptococcal infection that plays a role in the development of APSGN and PAN. Both clinical manifestations may occur simultaneously after streptococcal infection in a child who is previously healthy but carries a MEFV mutation.
