Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common hereditary recurrent febrile disorder, characterized by the sudden onset of high fever and severe abdominal pain. The implications of this disorder on a woman's health are significant and not well known among obstetrician/gynecologists. The goal of this review is to familiarize providers caring for women on the ramifications of FMF on different aspects of a woman's life, including puberty, fertility, pregnancy, and menopause, as well as to help them to diagnose and manage FMF when these patients become pregnant. Target Audience: Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Family Physicians, Nurse Midwives, Emergency Room Physicians, Internists. Learning Objectives: After participating in this activity, physicians should be better able to evaluate the implications of familial Mediterranean fever on puberty, menstruation, and contraceptive options. Manage uncomplicated and complicated familial Mediterranean fever in pregnancy. Diagnose familial Mediterranean fever in the emergency/urgent setting. |
