Mouth, eye, and genital damage

Mouth, eye, and genital lesions are found in Behcet Syndrome. Behcet's syndrome is a vascular inflammatory disease. The initial description of this syndrome mainly refers to the triad of recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis. It was later recognized that it was a systemic disease. May involve multiple systems and organs. Typical or meet the diagnostic criteria can be called Behcet's disease. However, many patients are atypical or do not meet the diagnostic criteria, especially some diseases such as ulcerative ulcers, granulomatous enteritis, and segmental ileitis. Can also cause similar triad signs, so collectively known as Behcet's syndrome. The disease was first reported by Turkish dermatologist Behcet, and has since been discovered around the world. The incidence of this disease in Japan, North Korea, China, the Middle and Near East (Turkey, Iran) and the Eastern Mediterranean is much higher than that in Western European and American countries. Because of its regional distribution, some scholars call this syndrome "Silk Road Disease".
