dc.description.abstractArthritis is the second most common form of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) attacks; lower extremity joints, such as knees and ankles, are frequent involvement sites for FMF. Sacroiliitis and spinal involvement is the hallmark of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and a possible but infrequent feature of FMF. About 10% of the patients experience protracted attacks, usually knees or hips are involved, but sacroiliitis occurs only in 2%. We present and discuss a rare case of FMF accompanying to AS. The diagnosis of FMF must be made on clinical grounds. The combination of irregularly recurrent attacks comprising short, febrile episodes of abdominal pain, pleuritic chest pain or arthritis in children or young adults are the main features of diagnosis. FMF should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with inflammatory involvement of the lumbar spine and arthritis in the knees or ankles.en_US
