Importance: Though the incidence of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in pregnancy is rare, understanding the etiology and symptomatology of FMF is essential for obstetric treatment of patients with FMF.
Objective: Familial Mediterranean fever is a hereditary periodic fever syndrome that has unique obstetric considerations. Familial Mediterranean fever is typically characterized by recurrent episodes of high-grade fevers, pleuritis/pericarditis, and arthritis lasting 1-3 days with complete recovery seen in between episodes. Familial Mediterranean fever is seen worldwide, but particularly in patients of Mediterranean descent. Its incidence varies across ethnicities.
Evidence acquisition: This article provides a comprehensive review of existing literature.
Results: It is well established that colchicine is safe and effective to use during pregnancy in patients with FMF to control and prevent flares. Although most pregnancies progress without negative outcomes, FMF has been shown in the literature to be associated with preterm birth and premature rupture of membranes. Its impact on increasing the rate of fetal growth restriction and hypertensive disorders is less understood. Additionally, FMF flares may be suppressed in pregnancy, whereas other sources report that flares are similar to those outside of pregnancy in terms of frequency, type of symptoms, and severity. Breastfeeding is safe in patients with FMF who are taking colchicine. Genetic counseling can be offered to patients with FMF, but in utero diagnostic testing is generally not pursued solely for the indication of FMF diagnosis in the fetus.
Conclusions and relevance: Further investigation of the impact of FMF on pregnancy is needed for advancing our understanding of the condition and optimizing care for pregnant individuals with FMF.
