    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Obstetrics & Gynecology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Behçet's syndrome is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder with a variable prevalence worldwide.
    • Pregnancy can sometimes unmask or exacerbate autoimmune conditions.
    • Genital ulceration is a hallmark symptom of Behçet's syndrome.

    Observation:

    • A case of Behçet's syndrome was diagnosed in a pregnant patient.
    • The diagnosis was made during the course of the pregnancy.

    Findings:

    • This case suggests Behçet's syndrome may be underdiagnosed in pregnant populations in the United States.
    • The condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis for pregnant individuals presenting with genital ulceration.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness of Behçet's syndrome in pregnancy is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
    • Early recognition can prevent potential maternal and fetal complications associated with untreated systemic inflammation.
    • Further epidemiological studies are warranted to determine the true prevalence of Behçet's syndrome in pregnant women in the US.
