What are the latest treatments for familial mediterranean fever ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best, not latest: Fmf is treacherous -- your mainstay of therapy is still Colchicine to keep the disease at bay and prevent amyloidosis which is horrible. The interleukin 1 receptor antagonist Anakinra is a pricey adjunct that's needed only by a minority of patients.
