Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Familial Mediterranean fever is an inherited disorder that causes recurring episodes of fever accompanied by inflammation in different parts of the body, such as the abdomen, chest, or joints.
Common symptoms: Brief bouts of fever with abdominal pain, discomfort when breathing, or joint pain that come and go in a recurring pattern.
Origin: It is linked to a genetic change that regulates the body's inflammatory processes, which is why it is often seen within families.
Which specialist treats it? The allergist, along with the pediatrician when children are involved, can guide the workup of these recurring inflammatory episodes. If you notice repeated fevers with no apparent cause, it's worth discussing with a doctor to investigate the underlying reason.
