title: Behçet's disease and complex aphthosis.
abstract: Behçet's disease is a complex disorder that causes considerable morbidity and occasional mortality. Increasing understanding of the pathogenesis of this disorder will, we hope, lead to better treatment modalities. Patients with complex aphthosis, a recently described entity, appear to be at risk for development of Behçet's disease and require close observation.
