Abstract

Introduction: Behcet’s disease (BD) is classified among inflammatory vascular diseases, affecting vessels of all kinds and sizes thus affecting every tissue and organ, with unknown aetiology. Considering low frequency with which this condition occurs, variation with the signs of symptoms, lack of specific test for diagnosis, this study was done to understand the clinical behaviour of patients with BD, which will aid in diagnosing and managing patients with BD and also relapses and other associated conditions.
