The study included 45 familial mediterranean fever patients as the cases group and 45 healthy children as the controls group. The study showed that the mean of the carotid intima media thickness is higher in the cases group (0.05) than the control group (0.04) with statistical significant difference. No correlation was found between CIMT and markers of subclinical inflammation as SAA,ESR and CRP.CIMT didn{u2019}t correlate with lipid profile. So carotid intima media thickness may be used as a tool in the prediction of any atherosclerotic burden in children with FMF Issued also as CD Carotid intima media thickness Familial mediterranean fever Subclinical inflammation Nagwa Abdallah Ismail , Supervisor Samia Salah Eldin Mahmoud , Supervisor Yomna Mohamed Farag , Supervisor http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf Nazla Revisor Samia Cataloger ddc TH 60742 60742 ddc 0 CUCL cl210 2024-02-11 Cai01.11.28.M.Sc.2016.An.I 01010110071599000 2023-09-22 00:00:00 TH ddc 0 CUCL cl2u8 2024-02-11 Cai01.11.28.M.Sc.2016.An.I 01020110071599000 2023-09-22 00:00:00 71599.CD CD
