Editorial Review:
This monograph fills a wide information gap for the clinician and researcher alike. Containing numerous clinical photographs, statistical data, and concise descriptions of the initial mucocutaneous symptoms, it will help the clinician to understand and identify the disease. Other manifestations of BD in such systems as the cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, to name a few, are also described. In addition, the book surveys the drugs and other therapeutic modalities known to have beneficial effects. Lastly, the book's synopsis of the pathogenic and immunologic features of the disease will be useful to scientists interested in the research aspects of BD.

Rating: - Pictures worth a thousand words
This book has the best collection of Behcet's-related pictures (skin lesions, etc) that you'll find in one place.

Rating: - If you have Behcet's Disease, take this book to your doctor!
This book is aimed at physicians treating people with Behcet's Disease, a rare autoimmune vasculitis.

Take this book to your doctor(s) if a diagnosis of Behcet's Disease is being considered! It's expensive, but you simply can't get this type of resource elsewhere.
