Research Notes on Behcet Disease Complications
Behcet disease is a chronic condition due to disturbances in the body’s immune system.

This extra inflammation affects blood vessels, usually the small ones. As a result, symptoms occur wherever there is a patch of inflammation, and can be anywhere where there is a blood supply. ...more from Wikipedia
