The Neutrophil–Lymphocyte Ratio and Behcet Disease

[Behcet disease].

Central nervous system involvement in Behçet disease (BD) may be either parenchymal or nonparenchymal. Abnormal cerebrospinal fluid findings and parenchymal involvement are associated with a poorer prognosis. A self-antigenic role for HLA B51 has been postulated in the pathogenesis of BD. The sibling occurrence rate is 3.6%. Familial aggregation may be more pronounced among pediatric cases comp...

Neurological Manifestations in Behcet Disease

Behçet disease is a multisystem disease of unknown cause in which an inflammatory perivasculitis can arise in almost any tissue (Sakane et al., 1999). Neurologic involvement in Behçet disease was first reported by Knapp in 1941. It represented between 4-49% of manifestations of BD (Haghighi et al., 2005). There is one of the most serious causes of long term morbidity and mortality in Behçet’s D...

Immunology of Behcet disease: review article

Behçet's disease (BD), also known as the Silk Road disease, is a multisystemic and rare inflammatory disorder primarily prevalent in populations along the Mediterranean Sea. Today, BD is defined as a crossroad between autoimmune and auto-inflammatory syndromes. Variety of syndromes including mucocutaneous manifestations such as oral and genital ulcers, papulopustular lesions and erythema nodosu...

Magnetic resonance imaging and Neuro-Behcet Disease.

Behcet disease is a rare multi-system immune related vasculitis which may involve the central nervous system, usually during the course of the illness. Magnetic resonance imaging is currently the modality of choice for the detection of the parenchymal lesions in their different phases, as well as the dural sinus venous thrombosis.
