Familial mediterranean fever (FMF) is an hereditary disorder characterized by attacks of febrile serosal inflammation involving pleura or peritoneum and synovium, followed usually by insidious onset of amyloidosis. In other patients amyloidosis of AA-type is the only finding of the disease. This disorder is common in Jews of Sephardi and Ashkenazi ancestry, Arabs, Armenians and Turks. In this work the clinico-biological features and the therapeutical aspects of a patient, suffering from FMF, of Italian ancestry are presented.
