MedlinePlus: A fever is a body temperature that is higher than normal. it is not an illness. it is part of your body's defense against infection. most bacteria and viruses that cause infections do well at the body's normal temperature (98.6 f). a slight fever can make it harder for them to survive. fever also activates your body's immune system.
infections cause most fevers. there can be many other causes, including
medicines
heat exhaustion
cancers
autoimmune diseases
treatment depends on the cause of your fever. your health care provider may recommend using over-the-counter medicines such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to lower a very high fever. adults can also take aspirin, but children with fevers should not take aspirin. it is also important to drink enough liquids to prevent dehydration.23
MalaCards: Familial Mediterranean Fever, also known as recurrent polyserositis, is related to periodic fever, familial, autosomal dominant and brucellosis. An important gene associated with Familial Mediterranean Fever is MEFV (Mediterranean fever), and among its related pathways are Immune response Role of DAP12 receptors in NK cells and Bacterial infections in CF airways. The drugs colchicine and streptomycin and the compounds glucose and ivig have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include kidney, lung and monocytes, and related mouse phenotypes are hematopoietic system and renal/urinary system. Genetics Home Reference: Familial Mediterranean fever is an inherited condition characterized by recurrent episodes of painful inflammation in the abdomen, chest, or joints. These episodes are often accompanied by fever and sometimes a rash. The first episode usually occurs in childhood or the teenage years, but in some cases, the initial attack occurs much later in life. Typically, episodes last 12 to 72 hours and can vary in severity. The length of time between attacks is also variable. Without treatment to help prevent attacks and complications, a buildup of certain protein deposits (amyloidosis) in the body's organs and tissues may occur, which can lead to kidney failure.17 NIH Rare Diseases: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited condition characterized by episodes of painful inflammation of the abdominal lining (peritonitis), lining surrounding the lungs (pleurisy), and joints (arthralgia and occasionally arthritis). These episodes are often accompanied by fever and sometimes a characteristic ankle rash. The first episode usually occurs in childhood or the teenage years, but in some cases, the initial attack occurs much later in life. Between attacks, people often do not have any symptoms. Without treatment, FMF can lead to kidney failure due to a buildup of certain protein deposits (amyloidosis). FMF is usually inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion and is caused by mutations in the MEFV gene.30 Wikipedia: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary inflammatory disorder.
