Behçet's disease is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in various parts of the body, including the skin, mouth, eyes, and joints. It is characterized by recurrent outbreaks of painful oral and genital ulcers, along with eye inflammation and skin rashes. Behçet's disease can also cause joint pain and swelling, as well as inflammation of the central nervous system and blood vessels. The cause of Behçet's disease is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. There is no cure for Behçet's disease, but it can be managed with medications such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biologic agents. The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation and prevent complications, such as blindness, neurological problems, and deep vein thrombosis.
