Sažetak

Familial Mediterranean fever is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait affecting mainly persons of Mediterranean descent, especially Arabs, Jews, Armenians and Turks. Fever, peritoneal and pleural inflammation, arthritis, erysipelas-like erythema, and arthralgia are well known features of familial Mediterranean fever. We herein report a three-year-old boy, who presented with vomiting and agitation attacks and was found to be a compound heterozygote for M694V/M680I mutation of the MEFV gene.
