Co-occurrence of Behçet disease with Ig A vasculitis revealed by ophtalmic examination: A case report

Abstract

Introduction Renal involvment of Behçet disease is not usual and Ig A vasculitis complicated by Behçet disease is extremely rare. Case presentation We report a case of Henoch Scholein purpura and nephritis associated with Behçet disease revealed by ophthalmic examination. Clinical discussion Recurrent oral ulcer is not a manifestation of Ig A vasculitis which doesn't affect large or middle sized arteries. If the patient had'nt been referred to our department for ophthalmic examination, we may have failed to make the diagnosis and treat coexisting Behçet disease. Conclusion The link of HSP and BD has yet to be fully understood, and more researchisdefinitelyneeded.
