2. Behcets How is behcets syndrome diagnosed? Behcets can be called either a disease or syndrome ( combination of be mentioned later. behcets syndrome is classically characterized as a triad http://www.angelsdesign.com/Behcets.htm

BEHCET'S SYNDROME The symptoms of Behcet's Syndrome Depend on the area of the body affected. Behcet's syndrome can involve inflammation of many areas of the body. These areas include the arteries that supply blood to the bodies tissues. Behcet's Disease can also affect the veins that take the blood back to the lungs to replenish the oxygen content. Other areas of the body that can be affected by the inflammation of Behcet's Disease include the back of the eyes (retina), brain, joints, skin, and bowels. The mouth and genital ulcers are generally painful and recur in crops. They can range in size from a few millimeters to 20 millimeters in diameter. Inflammation of the eye, which can involve the front of the eye (uvea) causing uveitis, or the back of the eye (retina) causing retinitis, can lead to blindness. It is very important for patients to have this sensitive area monitored by an eye specialist (ophthalmologist). If the arteries become inflamed (arteritis) in patients with Behcet's Disease, it can lead to death of the tissues whose oxygen supply depends on these vessels. This could cause a stroke if affecting the brain, belly pain if affecting the bowel, etc. When veins become inflamed (phlebitis), the inflammation can involve large veins that develop blood clots, which can loosen to cause pulmonary embolism. Symptoms of inflammation of the brain or tissue that covers the brain (meninges) include headaches, neck stiffness, and is often associated with fever. This can cause damage to nervous tissue and lead to weakness of body areas.

6. Jo's Story A story submitted by Jo Durant who has Behcet's Syndrome of the Professors at GOSH diagnosed me with behcets syndrome, and I was admitted to hospital for just the support branch of the behcets syndrome Society. I cannot thank them http://www.behcetsuk.org/Stories/jo.html

Close page Jo's Story Hi all. My name is Jo Durant, I live in Northampton, England. For years I have been embarrassed to talk about my Behcets, and its symptoms, but reading all these amazingly honest stories, I am beginning to accept. I am a 16 year old student, who loves all the "normal" things-socializing (when I have the energy!) music, and I am mad keen on art and animal rights. I am a vegan. When I was 9 months I began getting fevers and skin lesions, and over the years my symptoms just got worse. I was a mystery-none of the Doctors could work out what it was, for a while they thought I had Crohn's Disease. Then when I was 7, I was rushed to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London. I had developed oral and genital ulcers along with other mystery symptoms which are now familiar to me-aching joints, extreme fatigue. One of the Professors at GOSH diagnosed me with Behcets Syndrome, and I was admitted to hospital for just over a week. I was pumped full of antibiotics, so I can't really remember much that went on. When I came out I was put on Colchicine, which I have been told helps the skin and eyes. I was then rushed into Great Ormond Street again when I was 11-my symptoms had started all over again. I was admitted, and I was tried on so many different drugs. In the end I was put on Thalidomide. A controversial drug if ever there was one! But I am a sensible teenager (a rare find!) I feel that when you live with something as rare and serious and Behcets, you grow up ten times quicker than others.

Many other sites can be affected, including the skin, joints, and cardiovascular, neurologic and gastrointestinal organs. Joint manifestations involving a single joint or only a few joints appear in more than 50% of patients. The knees are the predominant site of articular involvement. Patients may have joint effusion, stiffness, warmth and tenderness, but permanent changes are rare. An elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, a strongly positive C-reactive protein, and elevation of alpha-2 globulin levels during the acute phase of the disease are typical features. Radiographic findings, which may resemble those of rheumatoid arthritis or related disorders, include osteoporosis, soft tissue swelling, and rarely joint space narrowing and osseous erosions. Sacroiliac joint abnormalities may sometimes be seen, and sacroiliitis can simulate the changes in ankylosing spondylitis or other seronegative spondyloarthropathies.

20. Behcets Syndrome BEHÇET s SYNDROME. Epidemiology Behçet s syndrome is a rare condition, most cases having been reported from the Middle East and Japan. http://www.od.mah.se/depts/webodont/behcets_syndrome.html

AltaVista PubMed/Medline/NIH ICD-10 / DA-3: Synonyms: BS, BD, Definition - Keywords: This aphthous stomatitis ocular inflammation , and genital ulcerations Epidemiology: and the presenting age is usually between 15 and 45 years. There seems to have been an increased incidence during the last decades. Aetiology and pathogenesis: The aetiology is unknown. Infections due to virus, bacteria and mycoplasma have been discussed, and lately autoimmunity. The basic pathological mechanism seems to be a deposition of circulating immune complexes in small vessels, causing vasculitis. Clinical features: Oral lesions are present in 90% of the cases ( Fig. 3033 ) . These are indistinguishable from those of RAU , and include all three forms of ulceration - MiAU, MjAU and HU. Only about 3% of all patients with RAU have BS, and progression of RAU to BS is rare. Eye involvement occurs in 80% of the cases with uveitis - and eventually hypopyon, conjunctivitis and/or keratitis. Severe eye lesions eventually causing blindness. Genital aphthous lesions are present in 65% of the cases with lesions on the penis, scrotum and/or vulva (labiae majora et minora).
