ABSTRACT
Behc¸et’s disease (BD) is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology,
which is characterized by recurring manifestations at certain body sites, which includes the respiratory system. It was originally described by Profes-
sor Hulusi Behc¸et, a Turkish dermatologist, as a triad of relapsing oral
aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis (1). BD is later recognized as
a multisystem disorder, also affecting skin, joints, blood vessels, heart,
lungs, gastrointestinal and central nervous systems (2). Immune-mediated
vascular and perivascular inflammatory changes are the hallmarks of under-
lying pathology.
