Patient's question:
I have a colleague in my office who is 39 years old this year. I heard him say that he suffers from Behcet's disease. He often has to take leave to go to the hospital to treat this condition, and I feel so sorry for him. Could you please tell me which department Behcet's disease belongs to?Doctor's answer:
Beh?et's disease is a common disease in the department of rheumatology and immunology. It primarily manifests as recurrent oral ulcers and genital ulcers. In addition to skin changes, it mainly presents as folliculitis, acne, and other conditions. Patients may also experience skin changes similar to needle pricks. A small portion of patients may suffer from damage to internal organ systems, such as the nervous system and eyes. Blood tests reveal that antibodies are entirely negative.
