A case of Behçet's disease aggravated by gingival infection with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
We report a case of Behçet's disease aggravated by gingivitis and carious teeth infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Recurrent severe ulcers in the mouth, and on the genitalia and legs were closely linked with the infection, and dramatically improved after extraction of the carious teeth and administration of systemic vancomycin hydrochloride.
