Abstract

Behcet’s disease (BD) is an autoimmune disease of unknown aetiology with multisystem involvement
presenting with relapsing orogenital ulcers and uveitis, involvement of central nervous system, joints,
lungs, gastrointestinal tract and major blood vessels leading to myriads of presentations, which
requires a multidisciplinary approach for satisfactory outcome. We describe a patient with BD,
highlight its pathophysiology and management aspects, and present review of pertinent literature.
