Although FMF is well known, protracted febrile myalgia syndrome (PFMS) is a clinical condition that is rare and difficult to diagnose than other symptoms of FMF. PFMS causes fever, myalgia, and acute phase reactant elevation that lasts 2\u20134\u2009weeks if corticosteroid treatment is not given. In some cases, fever may not be seen. The purpose of this report is to share our experience with PFMS patients in our clinic.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This is an observational, retrospective, single-centre study.

Nine of the patients were female. The median age at the time of diagnosis of PFMS was 10\u2009years. Only three patients had previously been diagnosed with FMF. Most of our patients were patients who had no previous complaint of FMF. PFMS attack was seen as the first clinical manifestation of FMF in 11 patients. Two patients who did not respond to steroid treatment improved with anakinra treatment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>PFMS is a rare condition of FMF disease.
