MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is one of the most common genetic diseases in the world with more than 500,000 patients. Most are concentrated in Turkey, Israel, Armenia and other countries in the Mediterranean basin, however due to population migration FMF patients have been identified virtually in every country around the globe. With the increasing awareness of FMF and other autoinflammatory diseases in a wider geography, information concerning new disease associations, genotype-phenotype relations, effect of environmental factors, new treatment modalities, and recent advances in the pathogenesis have been accumulated. After being diagnosed with the disease, a disease for life, patients are left with many questions regarding their disease. This book encompasses all possible aspects of the disease, symptoms, clinical and genetic diagnosis, treatment, complications as well as a personal point of view from the patient's side in coping with the disease. The book is detailed and comprehensive so that it could also be a great value for medical staff, physicians and nurses interested in learning more details about the disease.
