Behcet’s disease : a satisfactory response to adalimumab

Abstract EN

Behcets Disease (BD) is characterized by oral and genital ulcers, ocular manifestations, arthritic, vascular, central nervous system and gastrointestinal involvement and usually affects young adults.

A thirty-six-year-old Bahraini female with recurrent ocular panuvieitis presented with history and clinical criteria was diagnosed with Behcets Disease (BD) despite a negative HLA B51.

The eye involvement was characteristic of BD and she was managed systemically with Adalimumab and responded satisfactorily.
