    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Behçet syndrome is a rare multisystemic inflammatory disorder.
    • It is characterized by recurrent oral aphthae, genital ulcers, skin lesions, and potential organ involvement.
    • Diagnosis in pediatric populations can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms and delayed onset of characteristic manifestations.

    Observation:

    • This study describes six pediatric patients diagnosed with Behçet syndrome.
    • Patient ages at onset ranged from 2 months to 11 years.
    • Key symptoms included aphthous ulceration (100%), arthritis (50%), erythema nodosum (67%), gastrointestinal (83%), and neurologic manifestations (33%). Ocular involvement was infrequent (17%).

    Findings:

    • A significant delay was observed between the initial onset of symptoms and the development of complete disease manifestations.

  • No specific diagnostic laboratory tests exist for Behçet syndrome.
  • Corticosteroid therapy showed variable efficacy; chlorambucil provided improved control in two severe cases.

    • Implications:

    • Behçet syndrome may be more prevalent in children than previously recognized, underscoring the need for increased awareness.
    • The diagnostic delay highlights the importance of considering Behçet syndrome in children with recurrent unexplained symptoms.
    • Further research into pediatric Behçet syndrome is warranted to improve diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies.
