FMF is characterised by dysregulation of the inflammatory process in the body, presenting as recurrent episodes of serositis. Patients with FMF commonly present with episodes of fever, peritonitis, synovitis, pleuritis, arthritis, and occasionally pericarditis. We present a case of a young 19-year old female, who presented to hospital four times over several months with intermittent fevers, abdominal pain and pleuritic chest pain. After being initially admitted under the surgical team, she was reviewed by the medical team who referred her for genetic testing, which subsequently confirmed the diagnosis. She was started on colchicine, and her symptoms remain well controlled one-year post diagnosis.
家族性地中海热（FMF）的特征是体内炎症过程失调，表现为反复发作的浆膜炎。FMF患者通常会出现发热、腹膜炎、滑膜炎、胸膜炎、关节炎等症状，偶尔还会出现心包炎。我们报告了一例19岁年轻女性病例，该患者在几个月内四次因间歇性发热、腹痛和胸膜炎性胸痛入院。最初由外科团队收治后，医学团队对其进行了复查，并将她转诊进行基因检测，随后确诊。她开始服用秋水仙碱，确诊一年后症状仍得到良好控制。
