The paper presents a clinical case - a 35-year-old woman from Batumi, with a Behcet’s disease. The diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of a clinical picture and criteria. After the course of systemic and topical corticosteroids, remission was achieved. After 1 year there was no recurrence. The patient is warned of possible recurrence and was given advice.
Behcet’s syndrome is a rare multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by ulcers affecting the mouth and genitals, various skin lesions and abnormalities affecting the eyes. Additional systems of the body may also be affected including the joints, blood vessels, central nervous system and/or digestive tract. The exact cause of Behcet’s syndrome is unknown.
