Overview

Behçet's disease may affect multiple organs depending upon the specific blood vessels that are affected. Common symptoms include painful mouth sores, skin lesions, uveitis, joint pain, and genital sores.

The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic.

OR

The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Common symptoms of [disease] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3]. Less common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].

History and Symptoms

  • The hallmark of Behcet disease is recurrent aphthous ulcerations, genital ulcers, and uveitis. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].

History

Patients with [disease name]] may have a positive history of:

  • [History finding 1]
  • [History finding 2]
  • [History finding 3]

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of [disease] include:

  • [Symptom 1]
  • [Symptom 2]
  • [Symptom 3]

Less Common Symptoms

Less common symptoms of [disease name] include

  • [Symptom 1]
  • [Symptom 2]
  • [Symptom 3]

Signs and symptoms of Behçet's disease vary from person to person, depending on the blood vessels affected. Many patients show multiple organ damages. Like other autoimmune diseases, signs and symptoms come and go.

  • Painful mouth sores: These are the most common sign of Behçet's disease. Mouth sores turn quickly from lesion to ulcers and heal in 7~21 days.
  • Skin lesions: Skin lesions in patients with Behçet's disease vary, from acne-like sores to red tender nodules.
  • Brain: When Behçet's disease affect brain, it leads to headache, fever, disorientation, poor balance, even stroke.
  • Digestive system: Patients with Behçet's disease may show symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea or bleeding.
  • Eyes: Behçet's disease may cause inflammation in the eye, such as uveitis.
  • Joints: Patients with Behçet's disease may have joint swelling and joint pain when joints are affected with inflammation.
  • Vascular system: Inflammation may occur on veins and large arteries, leading redness, pain and swelling in the arms or legs, even aneurysms and narrowing or blockage of the vessel.
