Background Behcet disease is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulceration, eye lesions, and multiple skin lesions. The first modern description was in the 1930s by a Turkish dermatologist, Hulusi Behcet, who noted the triad of aphthous oral ulcers, genital lesions, and recurrent eye inflammation. A recent consensus conference identified several criteria to establish the diagnosis. Some of these parameters include: Mucocutaneous lesions (oral ulcers-recurrent, at least three times per year) Patients must also meet two of the following four criteria: Recurrent genital ulcerations Eye lesions (uveitis or retinal vasculitis) Positive pathergy test (trauma induced lesions) Skin lesions as diagnostic of Behcet's disease The skin lesions range from leukocytoclastic vasculitis, pustular dermatitis, and clinical lesions resembling Sweet's syndrome, pyoderma gangrenosum, and erythema nodosum. Some investigators believe only cutaneous lesions containing infiltrates of neutrophils around blood vessels is diagnostic. This disease is characterized by recurrence and relapse. Like many vasculitides, this disease may affect multiple organs. See the outline below for a detailed discussion.

There are several ways in which the immune system can be suppressed to an appropriate level to reduce the extra inflammation, and this suppresses the symptoms.") - lots of info at this page and also a listing of additional links to look at.

Organizations Definition Behcet's disease is a rare, chronic disorder involving inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body. It is marked by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, and eye inflammation. Causes The cause of Behcet's disease is unknown. It is believed to be caused by an autoimmune reaction. This occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own tissue by mistake. This autoimmune abnormality may be inherited. An environmental trigger, such as a specific virus or bacterium, may activate the disease in people susceptible to it. Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Although the exact cause of Behcet's disease is unknown, some groups of people are more likely to develop the condition than others. Risk factors include: Location: the Middle East, Asia, and Japan Sex: In the US, men are more likely than women to develop this condition
