Behcet’s Disease - Diagnosis

The symptoms of Behcet’s disease can mimic many other diseases and therefore these conditions need to be excluded before a diagnosis of Behcet’s disease can be made. There is no specific blood test that can diagnose Behcet’s disease. Hence the diagnosis is based on a set of symptoms and signs, including recurrent mouth ulcers at least three times a year, in addition to two of the following:

Eye problems as confirmed by an eye specialist
Skin rashes
Genital ulcers
Positive pathergy test, which is a test to indicate whether the immune system is over-reacting to a minor injury
