Overview
Familial Mediterranean fever is primarily diagnosed based on the clinical presentation.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- Familial Mediterranean fever is primarily diagnosed based on the clinical presentation. There are two sets of criteria for the diagnosis of this disorder in adults, including:[1]
- Tel Hashomer criteria, which is used widely
- Livneh criteria, which is developed recently.
- There is another set of criteria for the diagnosis of FMF in children.
- Since FMF occurs due to a mutation in MEFV gene, genetic analysis is also available for the diagnosis. However, it would not be cost-effective.
The Tel Hashomer for diagnosing familial Mediterranean fever :
Major criteria |
1. Recurrent episodes of fever plus serositis |
2. AA type of amyloidosis without predisposing disease |
3. Response to colchicine |
Minor criteria |
---|
1. Recurrent febrile attacks |
2. Erysipelas-like erythema |
3. Family history in first-degree relatives |
- The definitive diagnosis requires at least two major criteria or one major plus two minor criteria.[1]
The Livneh criteria for diagnosing familial Mediterranean fever
Major criteria |
Typical attacks (recurrent (≥3 of the same type), febrile rectal temperature ≥38 °C lasting 12 h and 3 days) |
Peritonitis (generalized) |
Pleuritis (unilateral) or pericarditis |
Monoarthritis (hip, knee, ankle) |
Fever alone |
Minor criteria |
---|
Incomplete attacks involving one or more of the following sites (1–3) |
Painful/recurrent attacks that differ from typical attacks in one or two features: (a) the temperature is normal or lower than 38 °C; (b) the attacks are longer or shorter than specified (but not shorter than 6 h or longer than a week);(c) no signs of peritonitis are recorded during the abdominal attacks; (d) the abdominal attacks are localized; and (e) the arthritis is in joints other than those specified |
1.Abdomen |
2.Chest |
3.Joint |
4.Exertional leg pain |
5. Favorable response to colchicine |
Supportive criteria |
1. Family history of FMF |
2. Appropriate ethnic origin |
3. Age <20 years at disease onset |
Features of attack (4–7) |
4. Severe requiring bed rest |
5. Spontaneous remission |
6. Symptom-free interval |
7. Transient inflammatory response with one or more test result(s) for white blood cell count, ESR, SAA, and/or fibrinogen |
8. Episodic proteinuria/hematuria |
9. Unproductive laparatomy or removal of white appendix |
10. Consanguinity of parents |
The diagnosis of FMF is made in case of
- At least one major criterion
- At least two minor criteria
- ≥1 minor criterion plus ≥5 supportive criteria
- ≥1 minor criterion plus ≥4 of the five supportive criteria
The criteria for diagnosing familial Mediterranean fever in children
- Also known as Turkish criteria:[2]
Criteria | Description |
Fever | Axillary temperature of >38 °C, 6–72 h of duration, ≥3 attacks |
Abdominal pain | 6–72 h of duration, ≥3 attacks |
Chest pain | 6–72 h of duration, ≥3 attacks |
Arthritis | 6–72 h of duration, ≥3 attacks, oligoarthritis |
Family history of FMF |
- The definitive diagnosis requires at least two criteria[3]
The comparison of various diagnostic studies for familial Mediterranean fever in children
Test | Sensitivity | Specificity |
---|---|---|
Tel Hashomer criteria | 45% | 97.2% |
Livneh criteria | 77.3% | 41.1% |
Turkish criteria | 87.4% | 40.7% |
Genetic analysis
Genetic analysis is recommended according to the following algorithm: [4]
An individual with unexplained fever + High CRP | Those who meet diagnostic criteria (Attack duration <3 days) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Ask for accompanying features: 1.Any skin rash other than erysipelas-like erythema 2.Oral ulcers, psoriasis, panniculitis 3.Exudative pharyngitis during attacks | |||||||||||||||||||||||
None of the above | |||||||||||||||||||||||
MEFV gene analysis recommended | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The above algorithm adopted from Nature review rheumatology. |
