Clin Podiatr Med Surg. 2002 Oct;19(4):519-25, vi-vii. doi: 10.1016/s0891-8422(02)00035-6.

Abstract

While Behçet's disease is an uncommon presentation to a podiatric clinical setting, it is nonetheless a fascinating and poorly understood disease as demonstrated by the current and historical research available about the topic. Much debate remains about the disease cause, course and treatment goals. Only through further research into the specific components of this multisystem disease will medicine be more fully able to address the needs of the patient. This discussion should offer the podiatric physician an overview of the disease as well as available treatment options.
