SUMMARY
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive, possibly pseudo-autosomal dominant inherited autoinflamative disorder characterized by a short but recurrent episode of peritonitis, pleuritis and arthritis with accompanying fever, rash, cefalea and high lab inflamation. Despite the fact that it is the most common cause of periodic fever in the world, the determination of FMF is often latetly and the disease is recognise in the stage within development of secondary complications - amyloidosis.

Key words: autoinflamation, polyserositis, fever, IL-1 inhibitors.
