Abstract
Behçet’s disease is a chronic, relapsing-remitting, occlusive vasculitis affecting multiple organ system. Greek physician Adamantiades had reported the disease as a classic trisymptom complex of hypopyon, iritis, and orogenital aphthosis. Behçet’s disease has an undulating course of exacerbations and remissions, and appears to be more severe in young, male, and Middle Eastern or Far Eastern patients. This article describes in brief Behçet’s disease in a new perspective.
