Behçet’s disease is a relatively common condition associated with genetic, infectious, and environmental factors. Patients typically present with recurrent oral and genital ulcers, as well as ocular manifestations. It is a systemic autoimmune disorder capable of affecting multiple organs—including the mouth, skin, joints, and muscles. Long-term, regular medication is required for effective management.
