It most often strikes patients in their 20s and 30s. Common symptoms include mouth ulcers, genital sores, and eye inflammation. Behcet's disease is a lifelong disorder that proceeds in a series of remissions and exacerbations.

Home About Us The Brain Healthy Brain ... Site Map 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.

Navigation Partnering Opportunities Needs Companies ... Corporate Opportunities Prevention of uveitis in Behcet's disease Kings College London - KCL Enterprises Ltd A novel polypeptide has been developed which may obviate the immunopathology of uveitis. Preliminary results of a phase I/II clinical trial suggest that the polypeptide complex can prevent relapses of uveitis in patients with BD. Licensing contact Ian Hill Technology Transfer Executive Request more information Development status Early Stage Industry sectors Biotechnology: Drug discovery Pharmaceutical Pharmaceutical: Prescription Biotechnology ... Biotechnology: Other Therapeutic targets Immunomodulation: Immunosuppression Sensory organ: Ophthalmic disorder (other) Gastrointestinal: Ulcer Genito-urinary ... Dermatological: Dermal ulcers Full description Behcet's Disease (BD) is multisystemic chronic illness characterised by remission/relapsing periods of intraocular inflammation (uveitis), oral and genital ulcers, arthritis and a variety of other symptoms in organs throughout in the body. The ocular manifestation of the disease, uveitis, occurs in 75% of patients. Uveitis causes blurred vision and repeated bouts often results in blindness. As a consequence, patients are often treated aggressively with immunosuppressive and cytotoxic agents. However, there are serious and sometimes permanent side effects from the long-term use of these drugs and as a result, there exists an urgent need for safer preventative treatments for uveitis. Professor Thomas Lehner has developed a novel polypeptide which has shown potent effects on human T cells. In vitro studies have indicated that the polypeptide may obviate the immunopathology of uveitis caused by the autoimmune response. As a result, a phase I/II clinical trial was undertaken and preliminary results suggest that oral tolerisation with the conjugated polypeptide complex can prevent relapses of uveitis in patients with BD.

Dr. Overman Approach to Care Practice Information Contact and Appointments Optimized for viewing with Behcet's Disease What can I expect to find on these pages? From Dr. Overman, "This is an unusual condition that can affect many organs in the body. The eyes, skin, mouth mucosa, intestines and joints are common, though blood vessels throughout can also be affected. The multi-system effects of this syndrome provides a good example of how many rheumatic diseases can affect the entire body." Most Common Symptoms and Signs of Behcet's Disease include: Sores in the Mouth Painful crops can overlap. Look for white or yellow center, red edge. Especially painful on tongue, but can be found anywhere inside the mouth. Gum lesions are not very common, but do occur; if they predominate, consider another diagnosis. Visual Impairment Usually painless episodes of blur, seldom with much eye inflammation. Ophthalmologist sees cells in anterior or posterior chamber, or signs of retinal vasculitis. Genital Ulcers These are not herpes, therefore they do not blister and are virus negative. Genital recurrence is much less frequent than oral. Ulcers found on the scrotum, penile shaft or glans. In women, on labium minor, cervix, vaginal wall. Ulcers may be painless in last two sites.
