We report a case of a 73-year-old Japanese male patient who developed Behçet's disease (BD) after poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis. Three months after the initial presentation, acneiform eruption and oral and genital ulcers appeared. Treatment with oral prednisolone (20 mg/day) resulted in the remarkable disappearance of these symptoms. These findings support the hypothesis that Streptococcus pyogenes may be an etiologic factor of BD.
我们报告了一例 73 岁的日本男性患者，他在链球菌后急性肾小球肾炎后发生了贝赫切特病（BD）。初次发病 3 个月后，出现痤疮样皮疹和口腔及生殖器溃疡。口服泼尼松龙（20mg/天）治疗后，这些症状显著消失。这些发现支持了化脓性链球菌可能是 BD 的病因这一假说。
