WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF BEHCET'S DISEASE?

The symptoms of Behcet Disease vary from person to person. It may disappear after some time and may recur on its own. The signs and symptoms generally depend on which parts of the body are affected.

The parts of the body commonly affected by Behcet Disease include:

  • Mouth: The most common symptom of Bechet Disease includes painful mouth sores that look similar to canker sores. These sores begin as raised, round lesions in the mouth which quickly turns into painful sores. These sores usually heal in 1-3 weeks.
  • Joints: Joint swelling and pain mostly affect the knees in people with Behcet’s disease. The mostly affected parts are ankles, elbows or wrists. Signs and symptoms may last 1-3 weeks.
  • Eyes: This disease may cause inflammation of the eyes also. This condition is known as uveitis. Uveitis causes pain, redness and blurred vision in people suffering from behcet’s syndrome but this condition may come and go.

  • Vascular System: There is an inflammation of blood vessels like arteries and vessels that may occur in Behcet’s disease causing redness, pain, swelling in the pain and legs due to blood clot.
