title: Erosive arthritis and posterior uveitis in Behçet's disease: treatment with interferon alpha and interferon gamma.
abstract: Very few patients with Behçet's disease (BD) have been treated with interferon alpha (IFN alpha) or interferon gamma (IFN gamma) to date. We report the successful longterm treatment of a female German patient with erosive arthritis and posterior uveitis with IFN alpha and IFN gamma sequentially and in combination.
