title: A dramatic case of Behçet disease successfully treated with infliximab.
abstract: Behçet disease is a chronic relapsing systemic disease with possible life-threatening presentations.

The authors report a case of Behçet disease with a sudden and severe multi-systemic onset successfully treated with infliximab.
