This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/behcet-disease

Behçet disease is an inflammatory condition that affects many parts of the body. The health problems associated with Behçet disease result from widespread inflammation of blood vessels (vasculitis). This inflammation most commonly affects small blood vessels in the mouth, genitals, skin, and eyes.
