Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. Oral and genital aphthous ulcers are considered as the hallmarks of BD. The genital ulcers of BD may be extremely painful and often refractory to multiple treatments. In addition, they exert a negative impact on the patient's quality of life. Some investigations have demonstrated the significant and immediate pain-relieving effects of NTCLT (non-thermal CO laser therapy) on some oral lesions with no visible adverse effects. In this paper, we report a case of BD whose painful genital ulcers were irradiated with NTCLT and the patient's pain caused by the ulcers relieved immediately and significantly with no visible complications.
白塞病(BD)是一种病因不明的慢性、复发性全身性血管炎。口腔和生殖器阿弗他溃疡被视为白塞病的标志。白塞病的生殖器溃疡可能极其疼痛,且往往对多种治疗方法均难以奏效。此外,它们会对患者的生活质量产生负面影响。一些研究表明,非热CO激光疗法(NTCLT)对某些口腔病变具有显著且即时的止痛效果,且无明显不良反应。在本文中,我们报告了1例白塞病患者,其疼痛性生殖器溃疡接受了NTCLT照射,溃疡所致疼痛立即得到显著缓解,且无明显并发症。
