Behçet

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology and Immunology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing multisystem vasculitis.
  • It predominantly affects oral and genital mucosa, with worldwide distribution, highest along the ancient Silk Route.
  • Genetic, environmental, immunological, and hemostatic factors contribute to its aetiopathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the key aspects of Behçet's disease, including diagnosis, clinical manifestations, and treatment strategies.
  • To highlight the importance of multidisciplinary care and early ophthalmological referral in managing BD.
  • To discuss the role of various therapeutic agents, from topical treatments to biologics.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis is based on clinical findings, primarily recurrent oral ulceration, as per the International Study Group for BD criteria.

  • Management involves multidisciplinary cooperation and includes topical/systemic agents (colchicine, dapsone, thalidomide).
  • Severe cases may require immunosuppressive or biological agents.

    • Main Results:

    • Recurrent oral ulceration is the essential diagnostic feature.
    • Ocular involvement is a major cause of morbidity, necessitating early ophthalmologist consultation.
    • Systemic involvement can affect almost any organ and impacts prognosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Behçet's disease is a complex vasculitis with variable systemic involvement and an unpredictable course.
    • Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach and tailored treatment strategies, including advanced therapies like biologics.
    • Prognosis is significantly influenced by the extent of systemic organ involvement.
