Introduction
Behcet’s Disease is a chronic, rare, and sometimes serious autoimmune condition that inflicts inflammation in blood vessels all over the body. It is marked by repeated mouth and genital ulcers, eye inflammation, skin symptoms, and joint pain, among other manifestations of the system. It is a type of vasculitis that occurs in both the veins and arteries and causes tissue damage as well as complications within numerous organs.
What is Behcet’s Disease
Behcet’s disease is an autoimmune form of systemic vasculitis in which the immune system mistakenly damages normal blood vessels. It can affect people of any age, but more frequently people with Middle Eastern, Asian, or Mediterranean backgrounds. The illness is characterised by a remitting-relapsing pattern, where the symptoms recur and then abate or fade for some period of time.
Behcet’s Disease Causes
- Genetic predisposition (e.g., HLA-B51 gene)
- Immune System dysregulation
- Environmental triggers, such as viral or bacterial infections
- Stress and hormonal changes
Behcet’s Disease Symptoms
Painful mouth ulcers
- Genital ulcers
- Eye inflammation (anterior and posterior uveitis)
- Skin lesions such as acneiform eruptions or erythema nodosum
- Joint pain or arthritis (non-erosive)
- Gastrointestinal problems such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, or ulcers
- Neurological manifestations in severe cases
- Vascular complications such as thrombosis or aneurysms
Behcet’s Disease Treatment
Conventional Approach
- Corticosteroids: To manage inflammation
- Immunosuppressants: Azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate
- TNF inhibitors: In case of resistant or severe systemic disease
- Colchicine: For mucocutaneous and arthritic manifestations
These therapies are symptomatic, non-curative, and have long-term adverse effects.
