Behçet disease (Behçet's syndrome, Morbus Behçet, silk road disease) is a chronic condition due to disturbances in the body’s
immune system. This system, which normally protects the body against
infections through controlled
inflammation, becomes overactive and produces unpredictable outbreaks of exaggerated inflammation. 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.
