Excerpt

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and serositis. A relation between FMF and Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) has been suggested in small cohort studies, although there is no consensus regarding the role of HLA B27. Colchicine, the mainstay treatment in FMF, does not improve the axial or peripheral symptoms due to spondylarthropathy. There are controversial data about the efficacy of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF α) blockade in FMF patients [1]. …
