MARTINEZ LARRARTE, José Pedro et al. Síndrome de Behcet: Presentación de un caso. Rev cubana med [online]. 1998, vol.37, n.4, pp. 249-252. ISSN 1561-302X.

A young male patient is presented, who went to Rheumatology Medical Service because he had an increased articular volume caused by scrotum ulcers and aphthous ulcers. This case was initially regarded as Reiter´s Syndrome. In the course of the admission, foliculitis in upper limbs, thorax and face skin as well as bilateral iridioconjunctivitis were found; X-ray test showed increased soft parts in the compromised articulation. The rest of the supplementary tests only showed a moderate acceleration of globular sedimentation speed. The case was re-discussed and it was observed that the four main criteria for the diagnosis of a full Behcet´s Syndrome were present.
