چکیده
T latest issue of May 2016 of JAPI has reported an interesting case of Behcet’s disease, suspected clinically and confirmed with other features from the ISG criteria. The ISG criteria1 for Behcet’s, created in 1990, have excellent specificity, but lack sensitivity. The International Criteria for Behcet’s Disease (ICBD) was created in 2006, as replacement to ISG. However, we feel that it would be appropriate to highlight additional medical literature about the diagnosis of Behcet’s disease at this juncture.
