Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Familial Mediterranean Fever

    a group of hereditary autoinflammation diseases, characterized by recurrent fever, abdominal pain, headache, rash, pleurisy; and arthritis. orchitis; benign meningitis; and amyloidosis may also occur. homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in marenostrin gene encoding pyrin result in autosomal recessive transmission; simple heterozygous, autosomal dominant form of the disease also exists with mutations in the same gene.
  • Macrophage Activation Syndrome

    a serious complication of childhood systemic inflammatory disorders that is thought to be caused by excessive activation and proliferation of t-lymphocytes and macrophages. it is seen predominantly in children with systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
  • Cervical Lymphadenitis

    inflammation of the cervical lymph nodes.
