Coexistence of Behçet’s Disease and Ankylosing Spondylitis
Coexistence of Behçet’s Disease and Ankylosing Spondylitis
Abstract
Behçet hastalığı (BH) farklı sistemler üzerine etkileri olan bir hastalıktır. Genital ülser, aftöz stomatit ve iritis, üçlü semp- tom kompleksi ile karakterizedir. BH sistemik bir vaskülit olarak kabul edilir. BH daha önceleri spondiloartropati (SSPA) grubu içerisinde kabul edilirdi, ancak BH yi SSPA grubu içerisinde sınıflandırmamak için pek çok neden vardır. Ankilozan spondilit (AS) özellikle aksiyal iskelet tutulumu ile seyreden seronegatif spondilartropati grubunun bir prototipidir. Bu yazıda BH na eşlik eden AS tablosuyla izlenen 33 yaşındaki bir kadın hastayı sunmayı ve bu iki hastalığın birlikteliğini tartışmayı amaçladık.
Behçet s disease (BD) is a disease which has effects on different systems. Genital ulcer, aphthous stomatitis and iritis are char- acterized by triple symptom complex of BD. BD is considered to be a systemic vasculitis. BD was previously accepted in spondy- loarthropathy (SSpA) group, but there are many reasons for not classifying BD as one of SSpA group. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a prototype of seronegative spondyloarthropathy, and mainly axial skeleton is affected. In this paper, we aimed to present a-33-year old female patient with coexistence of BD and AS. In addition, the coexistence was aimed to be discussed.
