Abstract
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive auto-inflammatory disease, presenting with recurrent episodes of fever and polyserositis. Diagnosis of FMF is may be challenging especially in pediatric population. Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorders and porphyrias can present with periodic abdominal and muscle pain. Incidence of both FMF and inherited metabolic disorders (IMD) are increased in Turkish patients partially due to high consanguinity rates.
