Coexistence of familial Mediterranean fever and Behçet's disease : a case report

Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, multi-systemic vasculitis, characterized by a triad of recurrent aphthous stomatitis, genital aphthae, and uveitis. It is common in the Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East, and Eastern Asian countries. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disorder, which is common seen in the Turkish, Armenian, Arabic, and Sephardic Jewish populations. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever, peritonitis, pleuritis, arthritis, and erysipelas-like skin lesions. Behçet's disease and FMF have common clinical features and geographic distribution. Herein, we present a 19-year-old female patient with coexistence of FMF and BD in the light of literature data.
