Behçet’s (beh-CHETS) disease, also called Behçet’s Syndrome, is a rare disorder that causes inflammation in blood vessels throughout your body. The inflammation leads to numerous symptoms that may initially seem unrelated. The signs and symptoms of Behçet’s disease, which may include mouth sores, eye inflammation, skin rashes and lesions, and genital sores, vary from person to person and may come and go on their own. Behçet’s is one of the few forms of vasculitis in which there is a known genetic predisposition.
