Özet

Behcet disease is an uncommon systemic disorder of unknown etiology, which was first described in 1937 by Hulusi Behcet, a Turkish dermatologist. Typical onset is in the third or fourth decade of life, and men are affected more than women, with a male-female ratio ranging from 2:1 to 5:1.(1) Behcet disease may have variable involvement of many organ systems. The diagnosis of Behcet disease is clinical and based on the presence of 3 major signs: recurrent orogenital ulcers, ocular inflammation, and skin lesions such as pyoderma or erythema nodosum.(2) Pulmonary symptoms may occur in 5% to 10% of patients and are thought to be caused by pulmonary vasculitis.(3)
