Overview

Familial mediterranean fever must be differentiated from other diseases that cause fever, fatigue, weight loss, arthralgia, myalgia, rash and soft tissue swelling.

Differential diagnosis

Familial mediterranean fever (FMF) should be differentiated from other conditions presenting with fever, fatigue, weight loss, arthralgia, myalgia, rash and soft tissue swelling. The differentials include the following:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]

Category of Disease Diseases Signs and symptoms Laboratory findings
Inheritance pattern Fever duration Frequency of attacks Abdominal pain Arthralgia/Arthritis Chest pain Skin rash Myalgia/Body pain Diarrhea/Vomiting Neurologic manifestations Conjunctivitis Aphthous stomatitis Lymphadenopathy Splenomegaly Complete blood count (CBC) C- reactive protein (CRP)

Differentiating FMF from other causes of peritonitis
Disease Prominent clinical findings Lab tests Tratment
Primary peritonitis Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
Tuberculous peritonitis
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD peritonitis)
Secondary peritonitis Acute bacterial secondary peritonitis
Biliary peritonitis
Tertiary peritonitis
Familial Mediterranean fever (periodic peritonitis, familial paroxysmal polyserositis)
  • Colchicine prevents but does not treat acute attacks.
Granulomatous peritonitis
  • Diagnosed by the demonstration of diagnostic Maltese cross pattern of starch particles.
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis
Intraperitoneal abscesses
  • Diagnosed best by CT scan of the abdomen.
  • Treatment consists of prompt and complete CT or US guided drainage of the abscess, control of the primary cause, and adjunctive use of effective antibiotics. Open drainage is reserved for abscesses for which percutaneous drainage is inappropriate or unsuccessful.
Peritoneal mesothelioma
peritoneal carcinomatosis
