Abstract: Objective: Behcet's syndrome, or Behcet's disease (BD), is a multisystem pathology, and survival is related to pulmonary involvement. However, it appears that different treatments correlate with different prognoses. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and tomographic evolution, as well as the survival, of patients with BD-related pulmonary involvement.

Moreover, the presence of PH was found as a poor prognostic factor in patients with PAI [ 2 , 8 ]. In our study, overall PH frequency was 11%, whereas PH frequency was 40% in patients with PAI.…”
