A 36-year-old male of pure Japanese ancestry presented with a classical 20-year history of Recurrent
Polyserositis
manifested by self-limited attacks of fever plus pleuritis,
peritonitis
or arthritis. These attacks were completely suppressed by daily prophylactic colchicine, but recurred when the drug was briefly discontinued. For the past 10 years he has been on 1.2 mg of colchicine daily and has had no further febrile attacks. Although several cases of periodic or cyclic febrile disorders in patients of Japanese ancestry have been cited in the literature, the patient described here appears to satisfy the required criteria for a diagnosis of Recurrent
Polyserositis
in a Japanese.
