Özet

Objective: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a periodic inflammatory disease transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance, which manifests itself as recurrent attacks of fever and polyserositis. During the period of complete clinical recovery, it has been demonstrated that subclinical inflammation endured. In this study, the aim is to evaluate the effects of subclinical inflammation on growth of children with FMF.
