“…Additionally, enthesitis of the Achilles tendon developed in six patients (2.7%) of our patients and lasted for 2–3 weeks. Recently, growing interest has been attributed to clustering of ABD following certain ethnic/geographical differences . Enthesitis combined with acne and arthritis represents a distinctive cluster of ABD, however, we did not observe any such patients in our study.…”

“…In this study, aseptic bone necrosis of the hip joint was only found only in three male patients (2.1%). The aseptic bone necrosis can be attributed to corticosteroid treatment, to the disease itself or to both factors . Baker's cyst is a relatively rare sign and it was only observed in six patients (2.7%); 4 of them, were further complicated due to a rupture into the calf, a condition, which has also been reported by other investigators .…”

Background/Objectives Musculoskeletal manifestations are frequent in Adamantiades‐Behçet's disease (ABD) but only represent non‐specific clinical findings. They have not been included in the two commonly used sets of classification criteria. The occurrence of musculoskeletal manifestations at ABD onset may even delay or obscure the diagnosis; therefore, detailed knowledge of the different musculoskeletal manifestations is essential. Our objective was to describe musculoskeletal signs and their clinical course in Greek ABD patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study, which included all patients with ABD, who had been examined in our Rheumatology Outpatient Division from 1995 to 2010. The study included 224 ABD patients (140 male, 84 female) that fulfilled the International Criteria for the diagnosis of BD. For statistical analysis, we have used chi‐square and Fisher's exact tests. Results Arthritis as a presenting sign was seen in 10.2% of our patients. During the follow‐up period, the frequency of arthritis was 58.4%. Monoarthritis was found in 32.8% and 22.6% of male and female patients, respectively (ns). During the follow‐up period, polyarthritis was only occasionally observed in male patients (2.14%). Oligoarthritis was assessed in 20.0% and 41.6% of male and female patients, respectively (P < 0.001), and was the only significantly different manifestation between sexes. Conclusions Musculoskeletal manifestations are common in ABD both at presentation and during the disease course. The most frequent sign is mooarthritis. Oligoarthritis was the only significantly different articular manifestation between sexes (more common in women) in our study group.
