Abstract
Behcet’s syndrome is a chronic, relapsing, multisystemic, inflammatory disorder. The diagnosis of Behcet’s syndrome is based on clinical criteria and no pathognomonic laboratory findings exist. A diagnosis is made by the presence of recurrent oral ulceration, the hallmark of this disease, plus any two of the following: recurrent genital ulcerations, ocular lesions (anterior or posterior uveitis, cells in vitreous or slit lamp examination, or retinal vasculitis), typical skin lesions, and a positive pathergy (skin hyperreactivity) test.
