Behcet's disease in people with suppressed immunity is, I think this disease is written in all the human factor as the immune system shows itself in people who are weak. 1984 – 1986 between the years too often Acute tonsillitis (Tonsil infection) I was getting. in 1986, the anchor was diagnosed with Behcet's in medical school. Oral Aphthae, Aphthae, genital psödofolikülit, Erythema Nodosum-like skin findings and paterji was diagnosed with Behcet's disease tested negative.

in 1988, the disease is in remission

Hi at the onset of BD had been very ill nausea! fever then flu like symptoms . Then the ulcers began everywhere, erythema nodosum, erythema multiforme and lichen planus kept coming up as the cause. Also to this day, 30 years later all tests of any kind come back negative. Now for the last 5/6 years I only have mild ulceration a few times a year but I suffer terribly with pain almost everywhere. I have degenerative spondylitis with bone spurs which they say would account for some of the symptoms and pain but not all and not the chronic excruciating pain I suffer on a daily basis.... Could it be BD related???

Relief of ankylosing spondylitis is not fully known. However, it is believed that the important role of genetics in the emergence of the disease. AS most patients with HLA-B27 is a tissue type are called. However, AS for the emergence of the HLA-B27 gene, so you do not need to move. HLA-B27 positive people are also a very large section of the AS does not develop.

Other genes may contribute to the formation of thought to be hung. AS in people genetically predisposed to bacterial infections (for example a stomach-bowel infection) the effect of an environmental factor, such as the immune system is the body's excessive amounts of work and, as a result of damage to itself disease originate.
