Patient's question:
How is Beh?et's disease caused by rheumatoid arthritis treated? Can it be treated using the same methods as rheumatoid arthritis?Doctor's answer:
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can lead to Beh?et's disease. It occurs when the body produces its own antibodies, resulting in repeated immune damage and recurrent episodes. Antiautimmune drugs are required for treatment, which may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or biologic agents. Both these diseases are caused by immune damage and can be treated using methods for rheumatoid arthritis.
