Abstract
Sperm counts and hormonal studies were carried out in six patients with familial Mediterranean fever who were receiving long-term colchicine therapy. The duration of therapy ranged between 7 and 31 months. In all subjects, spermograms, testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and prolactin levels were within normal limits.
