Behçet’s disease is rare. It is a highly immunogenic disease. In some countries, Behçet’s disease affects more men than women, while in other countries it is more prevalent among women.
The concept of Behçet disease
It is a disease that affects the blood vessels with many infections accompanied by weakness of vision and difficulty in digestion and difficulty in breathing with inflammation of the lungs and inflammation and pain of the muscles, and the occurrence of many ulcers in the mucosa, and cause many diseases in the nervous system.
There is no specific reason associated with the exposure of the patient with Behçet disease; doctors prepare it as a virus or bacteria that infected the genetic traits of Behçet disease.
Diagnosis of Behçet disease
Diagnosis of the disease is based entirely on clinical history and clinical examination (clinical diagnosis). The disease is diagnosed by:
- Ulcers in the mouth, which are multiple and painful and last for 10 – 30 days, appear frequently (at least 3 times in a period of one year).
- Frequent ulcers in the genital area
- Eye infections
- Skin rash in the form of redness or blisters and pills
- Positive skin test: This is a saline serum injection between the dermis and the skin. The test is positive when a bubble or pimple is formed within 48 hours, indicating hypersensitivity. The problem with this test is its low sensitivity, which does not exceed 25%.
These conditions are flawed in the diagnosis. Oral ulcers are an important diagnostic criterion, although the other symptoms and signs of Behçet’s disease may precede mouth ulcers in months or years.
The analysis may show anemia, the presence of certain infections, high white blood cells, high sedimentation velocity analysis, and high protein reactive c.
