Pediatric Behçet's Disease

Pediatric Behçet's Disease is a rare inflammatory condition that affects children and can cause various symptoms, including painful mouth sores, skin rashes, eye inflammation, and joint pain. It results from the immune system mistakenly attacking the body, often leading to recurrent episodes of these symptoms. Diagnosis can be challenging due to its similarity to other illnesses. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and managing symptoms, which may involve medications like corticosteroids or immunosuppressants. Early detection and care from a pediatric rheumatologist are essential for improving the child's quality of life and preventing complications.
