Article Synopsis
- A study on European FMF patients found that 20% experienced a diagnostic delay of over 10 years, with affected individuals being significantly older.
- Women were more likely to have this diagnostic delay compared to men, and specific symptoms like erysipelas-like erythema were more prevalent in delayed diagnosis cases.
- Delayed-diagnosis patients also had higher occurrences of AA amyloidosis and were more frequently treated with biotherapy, indicating more severe disease consequences.
