We report the gastrointestinal intolerance and continued FMF flares on colchicine, followed by anaphylactic responses to anakinra and allergic reaction to IDT of canakinumab, in the present case of FMF. Our novel, expedited canakinumab desensitization protocol serves as an effective and alternative therapy in cases when other appropriate biologic agents are not tolerated.
