9. Behçet’s Disease : Recurrent Ulcers & Vasculitis Internal Medicine

Behçet’s Disease : Recurrent Ulcers & Vasculitis Internal Medicine NEET PG/FMGE/USMLE 🌟 Behçet’s disease is a chronic, relapsing multisystem vasculitis that presents with recurrent, painful oral and genital ulcers, eye inflammation (uveitis), and tender skin lesions 🔥. It can also involve joints—causing arthritis 💥—as well as the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system, leading to a wide spectrum of symptoms 🧠. A positive pathergy test, where minor skin trauma triggers a papular reaction, is a helpful diagnostic clue, and genetic predisposition is strongly linked to HLA-B51 🧬. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and preventing flares, using colchicine for mucocutaneous lesions, topical corticosteroids for ulcers, and systemic immunosuppressants (like azathioprine or TNF-inhibitors) for more severe organ involvement 💊. Early recognition and a multidisciplinary approach are essential to improve patient outcomes and quality of life 🎯. #BehcetsDisease #Vasculitis #OralUlcers #Uveitis #HLA_B51 #AutoimmuneDisease #PathergyTest #Rheumatology #InflammatoryDisease
