Abstract
Along with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), it is now considered an autoinflammatory disease and gout. The commonality of the basic mechanisms of inflammation underlying the pathogenesis of FMF and gout predetermines the possibility of using similar therapies aimed at stopping and preventing seizures (colchicine and IL-1 inhibitors). A clinical case is presented describing the presence of a combination of FMF and gout in a patient. The patient was prescribed anakinra, which proved to be effective both as a treatment for FMF and gout. The appointment of an IL-1 inhibitor fully justified expectations: already after the first injection of anakinra, the intensity of swelling and pain in the joints decreased in the patient.
