The exact cause of the behcet disease is still unknown.
Life-threatening Causes
Behçet syndrome is more common (and often more severe) along the ancient silk road, which extends from eastern Asia to the Mediterranean [1]. It is most common in Turkey (80 to 370 cases per 100,000), while the prevalence ranges from 13.5 to 20 per 100,000 in Japan, Korea, China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia [1]. Prevalence in Paris, France in 2003 was 7.1 per 100,000, with rates of 2.4 per 100,000 in those of European ancestry, of 34.6 per 100,000 in those of North African ancestry, and of 17.5 per 100,000 in those of Asian ancestry [2,3]. Estimates of prevalence in the United States and Europe have ranged from 0.12 to 7.5 per 100,000. Analysis of residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota over a 45-year period identified a prevalence of 5.2 per 100,000 [4]. It is somewhat more common in men in the eastern Mediterranean area and in women in north European countries, and it typically affects young adults 20 to 40 years of age [1]. Immigrant and refugee populations from areas of high Behçet syndrome prevalence demonstrate increased risk of disease development [5].
