Behcet's disease is a multisystemic vasculitis of unknown etiopathogenesis characterized by recurrent acute inflammation. A 30-year male presented with progressive blurred vision in both eye for one month associated with photophobia, redness and ocular pain. On presentation best corrected visual acuity was 6/9 both eyes. Bilateral ocular examination of anterior segment demonstrated occasional cells. Treatment history of multiple joint pain along with oral aphthous ulcers. Erythematous papulopustular lesion over face, neck, trunk and genital ulcers were being treated. Irrespective of negative human leucocyte antigen B51 and pathergy, patient was diagnosed as Behcet's disease on the basis of clinical criteria and started with topical steroid and cycloplegic. At one-month, ocular symptoms were relieved. Behcet's disease is a rare, autoimmune disease, which lacks universal pathognomonic test and investigations, therefore diagnosis is primarily done with international criteria for Behcet's disease. Multidisciplinary approach certainly helps in early diagnosis and eliminating morbidity.
白塞病是一种病因不明的多系统血管炎,其特征为反复发作的急性炎症。一名 30 岁男性,因双眼渐进性视力模糊 1 个月伴畏光、眼红和眼痛就诊。就诊时最佳矫正视力为双眼 6/9。双眼前段检查显示偶尔有细胞。伴有多处关节痛和口腔溃疡的治疗史。面部、颈部、躯干和生殖器的红斑脓疱性皮损及溃疡正在治疗中。尽管人类白细胞抗原 B51 和 PATHERGY 均为阴性,根据临床标准,患者仍被诊断为白塞病,并开始接受局部类固醇和睫状肌麻痹治疗。一个月后,眼部症状缓解。白塞病是一种罕见的自身免疫性疾病,缺乏普遍的特征性检测和检查,因此诊断主要是根据白塞病的国际标准。多学科方法肯定有助于早期诊断和降低发病率。
