Behçet's disease is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory condition that affects multiple organs, most commonly causing recurrent painful mouth ulcers, genital ulcers, skin changes, and eye inflammation. In more severe cases it can involve the joints, blood vessels, nervous system, and digestive tract. The disease is thought to arise from an overactive immune response triggered by a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, and it is most prevalent in populations along the historic Silk Road. Because it cannot be cured, treatment focuses on suppressing inflammation during flares, preventing damage to vital organs, and reducing flare frequency over the long term. Management is tailored to the organs affected and the severity of disease, ranging from topical treatments and colchicine for mild mucocutaneous disease to conventional immunosuppressants and biologic drugs for sight-threatening, vascular, or neurological involvement.
Oral colchicine tablets plus topical corticosteroid gels or mouthwashes applied directly to ulcers — the standard starting point for patients with mouth, genital, skin, and joint symptoms without organ-threatening involvement.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $400
Typical tests: CBC (complete blood count), ESR and CRP (inflammatory markers), Liver function tests (LFT), Kidney function tests (KFT), Fasting blood glucose, HLA-B51 genetic test (if not previously done). Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $1,500 – $3,000
Treatment duration in India: ~2 weeks (~4 hospital visit days across the full span)
Oral immunosuppressant medicines such as azathioprine, mycophenolate, or methotrexate, often combined with a tapering course of corticosteroids — used when ulcers are frequent or severe, or when joint, eye, or early vascular involvement is present.
