[Renal manifestations of severe human aphthous diseases (author's transl)]

Renal manifestations of severe human aphthous diseases are seldom mentionned in the literature. The authors report on a case of Behçet disease associated with microscopic haematuria and intermittent proteinuria. Renal biopsy showed circumscribed "necrotizing" vascular lesions. In the absence of any other detectable lesions. In the absence of any other detectable aetiology, the likelihood of the renal symptoms being due to the aphthous disease is to be considered.
