Adult Behcet's disease in Iran: analysis of 6075 patients

Abstract

Introduction: This is an analysis of adult Behcet's disease (BD) in Iran, from the Iran Registry of 7187 BD patients, gathered from 1975 to 2014, among which 6075 were adults (84.5%).

Do clinical findings of Behçet’s disease vary by gender?: A single-center experience from 329 patients

“…Ocular involvement ranged between 32.9% and 58.1% in the evaluated studies (5,8). Ocular involvement in our patients was similar to that in the literature, and males had a greater rate of ocular involvement, similar to the study of Ugurlu et al (8).…”

“…Gender has an impact on its clinical findings and prognosis. A review of (3,5,6,9). In our study, the age of onset was 24.3 years.…”

Clinical features of secondary retinal vasculitis

“…El tracto gastrointestinal (esófago y región ileocecal) y el genitourinario (uretritis estéril, epididimitis, vejiga neurogénica) también pueden afectarse. Se ha reportado involucro renal (nefritis, glomerulonefritis) y cardiaco (vasculitis coronaria, pericarditis, miocarditis) 15 . Las manifestaciones neurológicas se presentan en las fases tardías de la enfermedad, son generalmente parenquimatosas o del tallo cerebral, afectando más frecuentemente memoria o conducta.…”

The Histomorphology of Colonic Behcet's Disease

“…Behcet's disease (BD) is a disorder characterized with multi system involvement, involving prolonged inflammation and vasculitis signs [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. BD progresses with unpredictable exarcerbation and remissions [5,8].…”

“…Colon involvement is significantly associated with morbidity and mortality [3,[11][12][13]. Three sets have been determined for using in clinical diagnosis including The International Study Group (ISG) [15,17,18], International Criteria for Behçet's Disease-2014 (ICBD) [2,7,14,15,18] and International Pediatric Criteria for BD-2015 [16]. Unfortunately, there is no a pathognomonic test for the diagnosis of BD [2,3,5].…”
