- The findings indicated that long COVID impacts patients' health significantly, with an average health score suggesting it has become a long-term condition for many, and 43% meeting the criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome.
Protracted Febrile Myalgia Syndrome: A Rare and Difficult Manifestation of Familial Mediterranean Fever.
J Clin Rheumatol
October 2024
From the Departments of Pediatric Rheumatology.
Article Synopsis
- Protracted febrile myalgia syndrome (PFMS) occurs in patients with familial Mediterranean fever and presents with symptoms like severe muscle pain, fever, and joint issues lasting weeks.
- A study analyzed 17 PFMS cases from a pediatric clinic, revealing that most patients had a specific gene mutation and highlighting the challenge of diagnosing PFMS, especially since it can sometimes appear without fever.
- Treatment typically includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids; however, some patients might need long-term therapy with anakinra or canakinumab to manage severe symptoms effectively.
