No fewer than five sets of diagnostic criteria for Behçet's disease are currently in use. The International Study Group have therefore undertaken an extensive study of existing criteria and have developed recommended new international criteria based on the collection of data from 914 patients with Behçet's disease and controls, of whom 886 (97%) and 97 respectively had mouth ulceration. It is recommended that these new criteria should replace the existing criteria sets although further studies are required to evaluate their performance in new patient groups.
目前至少有五套白塞病的诊断标准在使用。因此，国际研究小组对现有标准进行了广泛研究，并在收集了914例白塞病患者和对照的数据后制定了推荐的新国际标准，其中分别有886例（97%）和97例有口腔溃疡。建议这些新标准应取代现有的标准集，不过还需要进一步研究来评估它们在新患者群体中的表现。
