Abstract

Key Clinical Message: We present a 55‐year‐old woman with periodic fever and symptoms similar to adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD). She had a heterogeneous mutation of the MEFV gene and colchicine was effective. Atypical familial Mediterranean fever (pyrin‐associated autoinflammatory disease) should be considered in patients with periodic fever accompanied by symptoms similar to AOSD.
