Behçet Syndrome, Clinical Presentation and Risk Factors

Abstract

Behçet's syndrome, a systemic vasculitis, manifests across multiple organ systems, presenting challenges in diagnosis and management. This chronic condition, characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, cutaneous lesions, headaches, and ocular symptoms, poses complexities in its clinical evolution. The elusive etiology, potentially rooted in autoimmune reactions triggered by infection or environmental factors, complicates diagnostic endeavors. Diagnosis relies on evolving clinical criteria, necessitating the exclusion of other diseases, with imaging aiding in localizing symptoms. The differential diagnosis involves careful distinction from conditions with similar presentations. Ongoing research explores the intricate interplay of genetic factors, immunology, and environmental influences. A comprehensive understanding holds promise for refined diagnostics and targeted interventions, improving outcomes for those affected.
