Abstract
85 cases of Behcet''s syndrome are reported. The clinical manifestations were not localized solely to the regions and systems of the body in which the "triad" appears, but extended to other organs and tissues. A high incidence of involvement of the digestive tract and nervous system and of dysproteinemia is characteristic of this syndrome, which may be regarded as a systemic disease affecting the visceral organs on a wide scale. The possibility that an auto-immune mechanism may play a role in its pathogenesis is discussed.
