What is Behçet’s Disease?

Behçet’s disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that causes inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body. Although it most commonly affects the mouth, eyes, skin, and joints, it can also involve the brain, gastrointestinal system, and blood vessels, leading to serious complications if left untreated. Because symptoms often appear in episodes and resemble other conditions, many patients experience delays in receiving the correct diagnosis.

At Niruj Rheumatology & Allergy Clinic, we specialize in the early diagnosis and long-term management of Behçet’s disease using a personalized treatment approach. Our goal is not only to control painful flare-ups but also to protect vital organs, preserve vision, reduce the risk of complications, and help patients maintain a healthy, active lifestyle through regular monitoring and evidence-based care.
