Who Gets Behcet's Disease? What Causes Behcet's Disease? What Are the Symptoms of Behcet's Disease? ... Keeping on Top of Your Condition What Is Behcet's Disease? The disease was first described in 1937 by Dr. Helusi Behcet, a professor of dermatology in Istanbul. Behcet's disease is now recognized as a chronic condition that causes sores or ulcers in the mouth and on the genitals, and inflammation in parts of the eye. In some people, the disease also results in arthritis (swollen, painful, stiff joints) and inflammation of the digestive tract, brain, and spinal cord. Who Gets Behcet's Disease? Behcet's disease is common in the Middle East, Asia, and Japan, but rare in the United States. In Middle Eastern and Asian countries, the disease affects more men than women. In the United States, the opposite is true. Behcet's disease tends to develop in people in their twenties or thirties, but people of all ages can develop it.

Home About Us The Brain Healthy Brain ... Map pages DHTML_MENU_rel_path = '/squizlib/dhtml_menu/images/'; Behcet’s Disease Description Behcet's disease is a rare, chronic, lifelong disease that affects mainly young adults, with men having more severe symptoms than women do. Although the exact cause remains unclear, Behcet's syndrome is thought to arise as a result of an autoimmune response, that is, when the body's defense mechanism malfunctions and begins to attack its own tissues. The syndrome involves inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body. Symptoms include recurrent oral ulcers, recurrent genital ulcers, and eye inflammation It may also cause various types of skin lesions, arthritis, bowel inflammation, and meningitis (inflammation of the membranes of the brain and spinal cord). The symptoms usually flare up then go into remission. The time between attacks tends to be unpredictable; it can be as short as a few days, or it can be long as years before a person has another episode. Behcet's syndrome affects men five to 10 times more frequently than women. On average, the first symptoms appear between the ages of 10 and 30. Treatment Although Behcet's syndrome can be a chronic condition, most symptoms diminish over time. Treatment, therefore, focuses on the symptoms. Vasculitis and inflammatory eye disease will require glucocorticoids and perhaps other immunosuppressive drugs. Mouth sores may be treated with glucocorticoids in the form of mouthwash or paste. Colchicine, thalidomide and dapsone may be helpful for the skin or joint disease. Joint inflammation may require anti-inflammatory agents, pain medications, physical therapy and, occasionally, other immunosuppressive medications.

Ophthalmology Review Daily Notes in Ophthalmology Main August 29, 2003 Behçet’s disease :new finding BJO sep 2003 Behçet’s disease (BD) is characterised by recurrent episodes of orogenital aphthae, systemic vasculitis, and systemic and retinal venous thrombosis. An association between HLA-B51 and BD was first identified over 20 years ago, but recently identified gene associations implicate regions both within and without the MHC in the immunological events underlying the lesions in BD. These include allelic variants within the tumour necrosis factor gene region and within the MHC class I chain related gene region, the factor V Leiden mutation, which is associated with retinal vascular occlusion, and alleles of the intercellular adhesion molecule gene. No single causative gene for BD has emerged; the evidence indicates that the underlying immune events in BD are triggered by a microbial antigen and subsequently driven by genetic influences which control leucocyte behaviour and the coagulation pathways . Knowledge of these risk factors may permit a more accurate prognosis for a given patient, and identify new pathways for more targeted intervention than is currently available.
