Quick Summary:

Behçet's Disease is a disorder that has 3 classical symptoms:
- Recurrent oral ulcers
- Genital ulcers
- Uveitis of the eye
The uvea of the eye is the area around the pupil, which classically gets affected in this condition. The painful sores in the mouth are also called “aphthous ulcers”
Behçet's Disease is a systemic disorder, which also affects other organs, such as the lungs, heart, brain, and the gastrointestinal tract
It is a common disorder that occurs due to an abnormal inflammation of the small blood vessels, particularly the veins. This is called vasculitis, meaning an inflammation of the blood vessels
The risk factors include environmental factors, such as infections; in some cases, a genetic component may be observed
The set of signs and symptoms observed and the organs affected, determines the treatment plan. There is no cure for the condition
Early intervention and appropriate treatment yields a better prognosis. However, if complications, such as brain strokes and heart attacks arise, then the prognosis is guarded
