Behҫet disease is a multisystem inflammatory disease and variable vessel vasculitis involving primarily the oral and genital mucosa, skin, and eyes. Diagnosis is challenging due to the lack of a specific diagnostic test and overlap with other autoinflammatory diseases. Treatment of pediatric Behҫet disease aims to reduce inflammation and prevent future flares. The goal of this review is to provide guidance on the diagnostic workup and multidisciplinary approach of pediatric Behҫet disease and review evidence-based treatment strategies for patients with refractory mucocutaneous manifestations.
Keywords: Behçet disease; corticosteroid; inflammatory disorders; mucous membrane disorders; skin signs of systemic disease.
