Behçet's syndrome is classified as an autoimmune disorder. It causes chronic inflammation or swelling in blood vessels throughout localized or systemic areas of the body. The disease can affect many parts of the body, including the brain, spinal cord, and mucous membranes. The most common clinical manifestations include ulcers in the mouth and genital areas, as well as acne-like skin lesions. Other possible symptoms may include eye redness, joint swelling, and headaches.
Treatment for this condition depends on various factors such as the patient's symptom presentation and disease severity. Management strategies may include general supportive care and pharmacological therapy. Medications—such as cyclosporine soft capsules, methotrexate tablets, and ibuprofen capsules—may be prescribed under medical supervision to help suppress immune system activity and reduce damage to healthy tissues.
