Description

In this episode, we examine Behcet's Disease—a rare, multisystem inflammatory disorder that continues to challenge traditional frameworks of autoimmunity and vasculitis. Dr. Johannes Nowatzky joins us to discuss the disease's hallmark features, including recurrent mucocutaneous ulcers and ocular involvement, as well as its geographic distribution and genetic associations. We explore the diagnostic difficulties posed by its heterogeneous presentation and symptom overlap with other conditions, and the rationale behind individualized, often multidisciplinary treatment strategies. This conversation offers valuable insights into a condition that remains as enigmatic as it is clinically significant.
