Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Rheumatology
  • Immunology
  • Vascular Medicine

Context:

  • Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is common in children.
  • Behçet's disease is a rare systemic vasculitis.
  • Diagnosis can be delayed due to its rarity in early life.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the importance of considering Behçet's disease in the differential diagnosis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis in children.
  • To present clinical and laboratory findings of Behçet's disease in a pediatric cohort.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study of seven pediatric patients with Behçet's disease revealed key diagnostic criteria including oral ulcers (100%), genital ulcers (42.8%), and ophthalmic alterations (57.1%).
  • Initial symptoms often mimic recurrent aphthous stomatitis, leading to diagnostic delays averaging over two years.

  • Treatment involved corticosteroids, thalidomide, colchicine, and dapsone, with a favorable outcome in 4/6 patients, though 3/6 experienced relapses.

    • Impact:

    • Emphasizes the need for increased pediatrician awareness of Behçet's disease in pediatric differential diagnoses.
    • Suggests that early identification and treatment can lead to better patient outcomes.
    • Contributes to understanding the clinical spectrum and management of Behçet's disease in children.
