Oro Genital Candidiasis Mimicking as Behcet’s Syndrome: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Behcet’s disease is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. The disease is strongly associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA B51).It has a chronic course with periodic exacerbations and progressive deterioration. There are no specific diagnostic laboratory tests, although recurrent oral ulceration is an obligatory manifestation for diagnosis. The treatment depends on severity of the illness and requires a multidisciplinary approach. This paper summarises a case presenting a diagnostic dilemma as it was initially thought to be Behcet’s disease but later on it turned out to be a case of orogenital candidiasis.
