Erysipelas‐like erythema as the presenting feature of familial Mediterranean fever

Background  ‘Erysipelas‐like’ erythema (ELE) is a well recognized, although uncommon, manifestation of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), which is frequently mistaken for infectious erysipelas, especially when forming the initial disease presentation.
