Historical Perspective
Behçet's disease is named after Hulusi Behçet (1889-1948), the Turkish dermatologist and scientist who first recognized the syndrome in one of his patients in 1924, and reported his research on the disease in Journal of Skin and Venereal Diseases in 1936.[1] The name (Morbus Behçet) was formally adopted at the International Congress of Dermatology in Geneva in September 1947.
A group of similar symptoms were first described by Hippocrates in 5th century BC as part of his 3rd Epidemion book.[2]
