MeSH Heading: Familial Mediterranean Fever
Tree Number(s): C16.320.382.625
Unique ID: D010505
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010505
Annotation: a specific disease entity: do not use entry term PERIODIC DISEASE for periodically occurring disease (= PERIODICITY (IM) + disease (IM))
Scope Note: A group of HEREDITARY AUTOINFLAMMATION DISEASES, characterized by recurrent fever, abdominal pain, headache, rash, PLEURISY; and ARTHRITIS. ORCHITIS; benign MENINGITIS; and AMYLOIDOSIS may also occur. Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in marenostrin gene encoding PYRIN result in autosomal recessive transmission; simple heterozygous, autosomal dominant form of the disease also exists with mutations in the same gene.
Entry Term(s): Benign Paroxysmal Peritonitis; Familial Mediterranean Fever, Autosomal Dominant; Familial Mediterranean Fever, Autosomal Recessive; Familial Paroxysmal Polyserositis; Mediterranean Fever, Familial; Periodic Disease; Periodic Disease, Wolff's; Periodic Peritonitis; Polyserositis, Familial Paroxysmal; Polyserositis, Recurrent; Recurrent Polyserositis; Wolff Periodic Disease; Wolff's Periodic Disease
