 ==Overview==
-Behçet's disease can flare up, but it can also go into [[remission]] with effective treatment. Serious symptoms may appear months or years after the first signs. Males are associated with having a worse prognosis.
 ==Natural History==
-When treatment is effective, flares usually become less frequent. Many patients eventually enter a period of remission (a disappearance of symptoms). In some people, treatment does not relieve symptoms, and gradually more serious symptoms such as eye disease may occur. Serious symptoms may appear months or years after the first signs of Behçet's disease.
 ==Complications==
 ==Prognosis==
-Behçet's disease usually runs a protracted course and the mortality is low. Prognosis depends on:
-*Gender: Men with Behçet's disease has poorer prognosis than women.
+*
-*Whether the patient develops complications.
