title: [Familial Mediterranean fever].
abstract: After 10 years of disease a Turkish boy and his sister were diagnosed to suffer from familial Mediterranean fever. Because an elder brother showed the symptoms of recurrent attacks of fever, abdominal pain, arthralgias and nephrotic syndrome due to amyloidosis. When these symptoms occur in residents of the Mediterranean area, the diagnosis "Familial Mediterranean Fever" has to be taken into account.
