Behçet's disease

Behçet's disease (pronounced /bɛˈtʃɛt/) (Persian: 'بهجت') (Sometimes called Behçet's syndrome, Morbus Behçet, or Silk Road disease) is a rare immune-mediated systemic vasculitis[1] that often presents with mucous membrane ulceration and ocular involvements.Behçet disease (BD) was named in 1937 after the Turkish dermatologist Hulusi Behçet, who first described the triple-symptom complex of recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis.As a systemic disease, it can also involve visceral organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neurological systems. This syndrome can be fatal, due to ruptured vascular aneurysms, or severe neurological complications.[2]
