FMF: Colchicine and other anti-inflammatories may be used for this incurable genetic condition. Familial Mediterranean fever is an inherited disorder that usually occurs in people of Mediterranean origin — including Sephardic Jews, Arabs, Italians, Armenians and Turks. But it may affect any ethnic group. Please see either a rheumatologist or an infectious diseases specialist.
