Pulmonary function in Bechçet's syndrome.
Pulmonary function in Behçet's syndrome has not received much attention, although sporadic cases of airways obstruction have been described. In this series of five cases one had abnormal results with reversible airways obstruction and emphysema. These findings were likely to have been associated with asthma, previous smoking habits and pulmonary tuberculosis, and not another manifestation of Behçet's syndrome.
