Behçet syndrome is a chronic disease hallmarked by inflammation of the blood vessels that is related to an autoimmune reaction caused by inherited susceptibility due to specific genes and environmental factors, probably components of infectious microorganisms, which turn on or get going the disease in genetically susceptible subjects. The more common clinical expression of the disease is represented by a triple-symptom complex of recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis, sometimes associated with inflammatory arthritis, phlebitis, iritis, as well as inflammation of the digestive tract, brain, and spinal cord. The treatment strategies used to manage the manifestations of Behçet syndrome have gradually progressed, and a number of new therapeutic resources have been implemented in recent years, allowing better control of pathogenic mechanisms, reducing symptoms and suffering, and ameliorating patient's outcome.
白塞病是一种以血管炎症为特征的慢性疾病,与特定基因和环境因素(可能是感染性微生物的成分)导致的遗传易感性引起的自身免疫反应有关,这些因素在基因易感性个体中引发或促使疾病发生。该疾病较常见的临床表现为复发性口腔溃疡、生殖器溃疡和葡萄膜炎三联征,有时还伴有炎性关节炎、静脉炎、虹膜炎以及消化道、脑和脊髓的炎症。用于管理白塞病表现的治疗策略已逐渐取得进展,近年来已采用了一些新的治疗方法,能够更好地控制致病机制,减轻症状和痛苦,并改善患者的预后。
