Oesophageal and ileal ulceration in Behçet's disease.
Over a six-year period a Caucasian girl with chronic neutropaenia developed recurrent mouth ulceration, genital ulceration, ileitis and deep ulcers involving the upper oesophagus. These features constitute an incomplete form of Behçet's disease with the rare manifestation of oesophageal ulceration and the previously unreported association with chronic neutropaenia.
