Is There a Correlation Between Behcet' s Disease and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms?

Abstract

Behcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic multisystemic inflammato-ry disorder of unknown etiology. The most common mani-festation of BD is oral aphthous ulcers (1,2,3). Other symp-toms of BD include mucous membrane involvement such as genital ulcers, eye and skin lesions, gastrointestinal, cardiac, vascular, neurologic and pulmonary system involvements. Genitourinary tract involvement is encountered not only with genital aphthous ulcers but also with the urological problems such as epididymitis and sterile urethritis (4).
