Abstract
Behçet’s disease is distinguished by a triad of chronic oral aphthae, recurrent genital ulcers and uveitis, generally referred to as ‘the triple syndrome’. Behçet’s disease is also thought to be a multisystemic disease consisting of varying combinations of ocular, mucocutaneous, neurologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal, and other manifestations.
