Behçet's disease as a part of the symptom complex of SLE?
Systemic lupus erythematosus and Behçet's disease are known to be induced by immunoregulatory defects and to have some identical manifestations. Although the possibility of the coexistence of these disorders exists only one example of an association of these disorders has been described previously by Lee et al. Therefore, we describe an example of typical SLE with additional symptoms of Behçet's disease as a part of the symptom complex of SLE.
