I want to know what's the familial mediterranean fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serious illness: This is a genetic defect in pyrin, which is a protein left behind by angry neutrophils that go to a scene of acute injury to let the other neutrophils know they can maybe stay behind. Inflammatory responses are exaggerated. Most serious is a tendency to late amyloidosis which is horrible. If you're diagnosed comply with your medical regimen scrupulously. Best wishes.
