Criteria for the diagnosis of familial mediterranean fever
Avi Livneh,Pnina Langevitz,Deborah Zemer,Nurit Zaks,Salim Kees,Tzvi Lidar,Amiel Migdal,Shai Padeh,Mordechai Pras +8 more
TL;DR: The proposed new sets of criteria were highly sensitive and specific, and could be used to readily diagnose FMF and to distinguish FMF from other periodic febrile diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colchicine in the Prevention and Treatment of the Amyloidosis of Familial Mediterranean Fever
TL;DR: It is concluded that colchicine prevented amyloidosis in the authors' high-risk population and that it can prevent additional deterioration of renal function in patients with amyloidsosis who have proteinuria but not the nephrotic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deborah Zemer,Moshe Revach,Mordechai Pras,Baruch Modan,Stanley Schor,Ezra Sohar,Joseph Gafni +6 more
TL;DR: A four-month, double-blind, crossover study of 22 patients with familial Mediterranean fever was undertaken to study the effect of colchicine in decreasing acute attacks of that disease.

TL;DR: The data establish that mutations in SLC7A9 cause non-type I cystinuria, and suggest that bo,+AT is the light subunit of rBAT, and a new transcript belonging to a family of light subunits of amino acid transporters is identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and adenopathy syndrome: clinical characteristics and outcome.
Shai Padeh,Naphtali Brezniak,Debora Zemer,Elon Pras,Avi Livneh,Pnina Langevitz,Amyel Migdal,Mordechai Pras,Justen H. Passwell +8 more
TL;DR: Attacks were aborted by a single dose of oral prednisone at the beginning of the attack in all 15 patients in whom this medication was prescribed, and the syndrome has completely resolved in 9 patients.
