Abstract

Behçet’s syndrome is a rare immune-mediated disease often presents with mucous membrane ulceration and ocular problems. Nearly all patients with Behçet’s syndrome present with some form of painful oral mucocutaneous ulcerations in the form of aphthous ulcers. The cause is not well-defined; the primary mechanism of the damage is autoimmune. Treatment is aimed at easing the symptoms, reducing inflammation, and controlling the immune system. Here we present a case of Behçet’s syndrome with 2 week follow up.

Keywords: Behçet’s Syndrome; Autoimmune Disorder; Oral Ulcers; Patehrgy Reaction.
