Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is the most common condition in the group of autoinflammatory diseases. It has a relatively heterogeneous clinical display included in the Tel-Hashomer diagnostic criteria that can be further confirmed by genetic testing showing a mutation in the MEFV gene. AA Amyloidosis is the most sever complication in these patients. Colchicine is the standard treatment and/or alternative biological agents if necessary. This article aims to describe the evolution of a patient with FMF, firstly diagnosed as reactive arthritis, his clinical manifestations and therapeutic options.
