Comment on: Short-term follow-up results of children with familial Mediterranean fever after cessation of colchicine: is it possible to quit?

Dear Editor, We read with great interest the recent article by Tanataret al. [1] ‘Short-term follow-up results of children with familial Mediterranean fever after cessation of colchicine: is it possible to quit’. The article underlines an important issue encountered in daily practice while handling FMF patients. It is not easy to decide to cease colchicine in FMF patients, c onsidering the possible unanticipated, insidious and hard-to-treat complications such as amyloidosis. We think some aspects need to be clarified and discussed.
