    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Rheumatology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Behçet's syndrome is a multisystem inflammatory disorder.
    • Pulmonary involvement in Behçet's syndrome is uncommon, with limited data on respiratory function.
    • Previous reports suggest sporadic cases of airway obstruction in Behçet's syndrome.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate pulmonary function in patients with Behçet's syndrome.
    • To determine if observed respiratory abnormalities are a direct manifestation of Behçet's syndrome.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series of five patients diagnosed with Behçet's syndrome.
    • Evaluation of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in the studied cohort.
    • Analysis of individual patient history, including smoking, asthma, and tuberculosis.

    Main Results:

    • One out of five patients exhibited abnormal pulmonary function test results.
    • The abnormal findings included reversible airways obstruction and emphysema.
    • These respiratory abnormalities were attributed to confounding factors such as asthma, smoking, and prior tuberculosis, not Behçet's syndrome itself.

    Conclusions:

    • Pulmonary function abnormalities are not a common feature of Behçet's syndrome.
    • Observed reversible airways obstruction and emphysema in a patient were likely due to other coexisting conditions.
    • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the spectrum of pulmonary involvement in Behçet's syndrome.
