To study the prevalence, manifestations and severity of ocular involvement in Indian patients with Behcet's disease.
Prospective analysis of all patients of suspected Behcet's disease between 1997 and 2001.
A total of 19 patients were diagnosed to have Behcet's disease. Ocular manifestations were seen in 36% patients. The commonest manifestation was conjunctival ulcer (26.3%), followed by iridocyclitis (10.5%). None of the patients had posterior segment involvement or visual loss. Response to topical corticosteroids was good.
The prevalence and severity of ocular lesions in Behcet's disease is relatively low in Indian patients. Conjunctival ulcers was a common finding, which is rarely reported in the world literature.

对1997年至2001年间所有疑似白塞病患者进行前瞻性分析。
共诊断出19例白塞病患者。36%的患者出现眼部表现。最常见的表现是结膜溃疡(26.3%),其次是虹膜睫状体炎(10.5%)。所有患者均无眼后段受累或视力丧失。局部使用皮质类固醇治疗反应良好。
