Abstract
Purpose This study aims to demonstrate pulmonary alterations (PA) in patients with Behcet's disease by using CT. Materials and methods CTs of 50 patients with Behcet's disease and 20 others in a control group have been evaluated retrospectively for PA (septal, reticular, nodular, atelectatic opacities). Results Eight out of 50 patients (16%) with Behcet's disease showed PA. Three out of 20 (15%) in the control group showed PA. No differences were observed between Behcet's disease patients and the control group regarding pulmonary alterations ( p = 0.917). No differences were observed in the disease duration, ages and sex in either group in those with and without PA. Conclusion Pulmonary alterations can be seen in patients with Behcet's disease, but these alterations are not significant.
