Overview
It is understood that behcet disease is the result of vasculitis. It involves all sizes of blood vessels ( small, medium, and large). Arteries and veins are both involved in Behcet disease. Major mechanisms in pathogenesis of behcet disease include environmental factors such as bacteria, viruses, and heat shock proteins (present in some bacteria and some of the bacterial HSPs share similaritis with human HSPs), streptococci sanguinis, streptococci pyogenes and mycobacterium tuberculosis produce HSPs that trigger anti HSP60 and anti HSP65 antibodies and then they target human HSPs and immune response such as uveitis in parenchymal neuro-behcet disease, CD4+ T cells activation, secretion of cytokines and inflammation. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of behcet disease include human leukocyte antigens, particularly HLA-B51.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- It is understood that behcet disease is the result of vasculitis. It involves all sizes of blood vessels ( small, medium, and large). Arteries and veins are both involved in Behcet disease. Major mechanisms in pathogenesis of behcet disease include:[1]
- Polygenic
- Environmental factors such as bacteria, viruses, and heat shock proteins (present in some bacteria and some of the bacterial HSPs share similaritis with human HSPs)[2]
- Streptococci sanguinis, streptococci pyogenes, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis produce HSPs that trigger anti HSP60 and anti HSP65 antibodies and then they target human HSPs and immune response such as uveitis in parenchymal neuro-behcet disease.[3]
- CD4+ T cells activation, secretion of cytokines and inflammation.
Genetics
- The development of behcet disease is the result of multiple genetic mutations.
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of behcet disease include human leukocyte antigens, particularly HLA-B51.[4]
- Familial cases of behcet disease have higher rates of HLA-B51 in compare to sporadic cases.[5]
- Genetic anticipation: earlier age of onset of disease in children of patients with behcet disease.[6]
- Some studies shows that major histocompatibility complex class I chain related gene A (MICA) A6 allele is related to behcet disease. [7]
- Non-HLA genes also have roles in behcet diesease. They include: [8]
- Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 gene
- The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene[9]
- Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) genes[10]
- The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene[11]
- Manganese superoxide dismutase gene[12]
- Cytochrome P450 gene[13]
- Interleukin (IL)-10 gene[14]
- The IL-23 receptor gene[15]
- Missense mutations of the familial Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene that encodes protein pyrin on the surface of neutrophils[16]
Gross Pathology
- On gross pathology oral ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin lesions are characteristic findings of Behcet disease.

Microscopic Pathology
- On microscopic histopathological analysis, neutrophilic and CD4+ T lymphocytes infiltrate and vasculitis are characteristic findings of behcet disease.
