Background:

Behçet's disease is a rare systemic vasculitis affecting young adults.
It is characterized by recurrent oral/genital ulcers, uveitis, skin lesions, arthritis, and thrombosis.
Prevalence is highest in the Middle East, Japan, and Mediterranean regions.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive overview of Behçet's disease.
To highlight diagnostic challenges and treatment complexities.

Main Methods:

Literature review of Behçet's disease etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management.
Analysis of international diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Behçet's disease primarily affects venules and presents with diverse multi-systemic manifestations.
Diagnosis can be difficult, especially without characteristic ulcers.
Effective treatment requires individualized, often combination, therapeutic approaches based on organ involvement.

Conclusions:

Behçet's disease is a complex systemic vasculitis requiring tailored management.
Further research into etiology and standardized diagnostic/treatment protocols is warranted.
