|
Clinical studies on thirteen patients with Behcee s syndrome who had visited during the period from Jan. 1970 to Sep. 1973, to the Department of Dermatology & Ophthalmology, Busan National University Hospital, were made and the following results obtained.
1) The ratio of male vs. female was 1.0 : 1.6 with no definite sexual differences. The ages ranged from 17 to 56 years with the peak incidence in third decade of life.
2) The "complete" form consisting of oculo-oro-genital and cutaneous lesions appeared in 4 patients (30.8%) and the "incomplete" in 9 patients (69.2%).
3) Aphthous stomatitis was most predominant, being observed in 12 out of all 13 cases (92.3%), the next was cutaneous manifestations such as erythema nodosum, pyodermas, acneiform & pustular lesions and erythema multiforme in 10 cases (76. 1%) and genital ulcers in 9 cases (69.2%). Ocular lesions and articular involvements came fourth, each being found in 8 cases (61. 5%).
4) The commonest feature of ocular involvement was relapsing iridocyclitis, being observed in 57. 7% and the disease led to a bilateral loss of vision in 38.4%.
5) Single or combined therapy including corticosteroids and antimicrobials gave transient conservative effects and was of no value to prevent recurrent attacks.
