Notes de l'éditeur

  1. 463 History of Behcet's Syndrome Benedictos Adamantiades and Hulusi Behcet were first to put the syndrome as a distinct pathological entity. Benedictos Adamantiades was a Greek dermatologist who clearly recognised association of ROU, genital ulcers and ocular lesions but published in the Greek rather than international literature. ? Get copy of publication Hulusi Behcet described ROU, genital ulcers and ocular lesions with hypopyon. This was published in the German literature and the syndrome became widely adopted. In those days publishing in a German journal would have been similar to publishing in an American journal today, so probably nothing much has changed. ?Skin lesions in initial description Since Behcet’s initial description many other manifestations have been described and these include…
  2. To classify a patient as definitely having Behcet’s syndrome, the patient should have recurrent oral ulceration, which means more than three attacks in a twelve month period, and at least two of the other major manifestations which include anterior or posterior uveitis, cells in the vitreous on slit lamp examination or retinal vasculitis; recurrent genital ulceration; typical skin lesions (which I shall come on to) or the cutaneous hypersensitivity reaction known as “pathergy”, which is elicited by insertion of a 20G or smaller needle obliquely into the skin under sterile conditions and read at 24-28 hours. Those of you who do not know about pathergy should not worry as I plan to discuss it in more detail later in the talk My own interest in Behcet’s syndrome dates back to 1994, and is entirely due to being asked to give a lecture to this gathering. I am a rheumatologist with particular research experience in inflammation of blood vessels, and it was because of this rather than because of any particular experience with Behcet’s syndrome that I was asked. Since then I have been asked to see seen quite a large number of patients suspected of having Behcet’s syndrome. I say “suspected”, as no one ever seems very certain, and referrals usually contain statements such “ I think this patient may have Behcet’s syndrome”, and the diagnosis on discharge summaries usually has a ? before the Behcet’s syndrome. Yazici group – reassessment of ISG criteria in Seoul
  3. For review of ROU see Woo et al 1996 JADA 127:1202 {add} Major: >1 cm and may last weeks-months and heal with scarring Minor: Usualy < 1 cm and heal within 14 days without treatment and withoutr scarring Herpetiform: Like Herpes Non-keratinized mucosa: excludes attached gingivae, dorsum of tongue and hard palate Aetiological factors of benign ROU include Genetics: Present in 20% of population. 50% of first degree relatives have condition. Food hypersensitivities as always difficult to determine importance but worth thinking about gluten-sensitivity. Menses, hormones etc again no firm evidence Trauma: as in BS, trauma may precipitate an ulcer. Smoking: tends to be negatively associated, possibly through increasing mucosal keratinization and/or effects of nicotine (nicotine replacement therapy seems to protect) Infection: Strep, Herpes. Many attending oral medicine clinics have an unclassifyable mono-or oligo-arthropathy (Livneh et al 1996 Clin Exp Rheumatol 14:407 {add})
  4. 407 Differential diagnosis of oral ulcers Haematinics include FE, B12 and folate Neutropenia functionl causes include CGD, Chediak-Higashi disease, Job’s syndrome, Tyupe 1b glycogenosis, LAD.
  5. 408 Skin manifestations of BS Give break-down of proportions Differential diagnosis of skin lesions in presence of oral + genital ulcers is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome ? does sarcoid cause OU

  8. Slide 298: Neurological features of BS
  9. 404 Outcome of headaches Akman-Demir et al 1996 Arch Neurol 53:691{add} abnormal CSF marked those with a progressive course. The 2 pts with headaches who went on to get attacks had dural inus thromvboss (1) and a brain stem attack (1) .Silent involvement mainly detected by neuropsychiatric or evoked response testing.
  10. 405 Intracranial hypertension Mrs Vanessa Edwards (also vaginal-rectal fistula) Severe headache with vomiting Papilloedema, blurred vision, photophobia, transient visual obscurations Sixth nerve palsies and/or diplopia Optic atrophy with reduced visual fields LP: raised pressure but usually normal fluid dd superior vena cava occlusion, space occupying lesion, drugs OR may be more indolent subacute onset with headaches This case illustrtaes both presentations Diagnosis: CT insensitive. MRI very sensitive and may be supported by MR venography Akman-Demir et al 1996 Eur J Neurol 3:66 {add}main cause is cerebral venous thrombosis. Not usually associated with other forms of neurological involvement or uveitis, but associated with thrombophlebitis. Therefore may be better classified as vasularBS than neuroBS. Usually has a better outcome than other forms of neuroBS. 50% settle after one attack, whilst the rest have further attacks. CHECK ANATOMY OF ARACHNOID GRANULATIONS AND PATHOGENESIS Treatment: Steroids. Anticoagulants controversial Acetazolamide, repeated LPs.

  15. Slide 313: Arthritis in Behcets Sacroiliitis: Was described as a feature by Dilsen but most people would say that sacroiliitis is probably not a feature classical BS, if there is any such thing (Yazici et al 1981 ARD 40:558). The connection probably reflects the clinical overlap that exists with B27-related diseases and inflammatory bowel disease.

  17. 459 Differences between Behçet's and Reiter's syndromes
  18. 464 Behcet's Syndrome - list of overall manifestations Put skin manifestations after systemic features if Behcet did not describe them It is important to stress the systemic manifestations which may be a major feature in some patients and which are present in the large majority. This is probably no different from patients with other inflammatory disorders. fatigue sweats and fevers, usually at night. AS most patients do not take their temperature it is difficult to know how closely the two are related!#

We view these non-specific symptoms as a very important part of the syndrome, since they are often so severe that patients are unable to work
  20. Moving on then to common laboratory investigations (Slide 33), these need to be done to exclude other pathologies but are usually rather unhelpful. The patients do not usually become anaemic, but often have slightly raised neutrophil and platelet counts. The immunoglobulins are usually normal, although occasionally the IgA is raised. Complement factors are normal and the autoantibodies we are used to looking for in vasculitic syndromes are absent. Proen ça et al (Portugal) – presented in Seoul the value of highly sensitive CRP
