Gastric, Colonic, and Rectal Amyloidosis in the Setting of Familial Mediterranean Fever: A Unique Cause of Intractable Diarrhea
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary disorder characterized by episodes of fever, polyserositis, or cutaneous inflammation. The FMF attacks last 1–3 days and have no apparent triggers. Recurrent deposition of the serum amyloid A (SAA) protein in the gut can cause intractable diarrhea,...

| description | Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary disorder characterized by episodes of fever, polyserositis, or cutaneous inflammation. The FMF attacks last 1–3 days and have no apparent triggers. Recurrent deposition of the serum amyloid A (SAA) protein in the gut can cause intractable diarrhea, dysmotility, and recurrent abdominal pain. Gastrointestinal amyloidosis is a rare, but serious, complication of FMF. In this case report, we describe a rare case of chronic diarrhea and recurrent abdominal pain due to FMF-induced gastrointestinal amyloidosis. |
