The condition usually affects people of Mediterranean ancestry, especially non-Ashkenazi (Sephardic) Jews, Armenians, and Arabs, although people from other ethnic groups may also be affected.This disease is very rare. Risk factors include a family history of familial Mediterranean fever or having Mediterranean ancestry.SymptomsSymptoms usually begin ages 5 and 15. Inflammation in the lining of the abdominal cavity, chest cavity, skin, or joints occurs, along with high fevers that usually peak in 12 to 24 hours. Attacks may vary in severity of symptoms. Patients are usually symptom-free between attacks.Symptoms may include:Abdominal painthat occurs repeatedly (recurrent)Chest pain that occurs repeatedlyFever or alternating chills and fever (relapsing)Recurrent joint painSkin lesions that are red and swollen and range from 5 - 20 cm in diameterSigns and testsThere is no specific test to diagnose this disease.
