[Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) (author's transl)].
Authors present an Andalusian family, affected by FMF with a dominant autosomal inheritance. The number of members affected by phenotype II (40%) and the cases of bad prognosis (1/3 died before 34 years of age) was higher than those found by other authors. A new clinical finding: the presence of prodromic ocular symptoms (constant in this family), and the presence of Park's transverse lines in the skeletal X-rays, not previously reported, are referred. An increasing pediatric interest in this disease is pointed out.
