Objectives Behcet’s disease is a multisystemic, inflammatory disease. Various factors have been implicated in the disease, including genetics, infections, immunoglobulins, immune complexes, antibodies, and oxidative stress. However, the underlying etiopathogenesis remains unclear. Behcet’s disease can occur with or without vascular involvement. This prospective study investigated the relationship between the intima-media thickness of the major arteries, in addition to other factors affecting the disease process, in Behcet’s disease without vascular involvement. Methods Twenty-four patients (average age: 38.50 ± 10.931) without vascular involvement or any vascular complaints who were diagnosed with Behcet’s disease were included in the study. Sixteen healthy subjects (average age: 39.75 ± 7.793) were included as a control group. Demographic information and medical histories were recorded, and routine blood tests were performed in both groups. The intima-media thickness of the subclavian, axillary, femoral, and carotid arteries of all the participants were recorded using Doppler ultrasonography. The data were then subjected to intergroup statistical and correlation analyses. Results There were no significant differences between the arterial intima-media thickness values of the Behcet’s disease patients and those of the control group ( p > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference between the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio ( p = 0.004), low-density lipoprotein ( p = 0.007), and triglyceride ( p = 0042) levels of the two groups. Significant correlations were found between intima-media thickness and neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio levels ( p = 0.012) and the disease duration ( p = 0.030). There was also a significant correlation between the intima-media thickness of the femoral artery and disease duration ( p = 0.014). Conclusions The results showed that the duration of illness had a significant effect on arterial intima-media thickness in Behcet’s disease. Blood neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio levels were also associated with increased intima-media thickness.

The aim of this study was to measure serum leptin and vitamin D levels in remission in Behcet's disease (BD) and to investigate the relationship between leptin and vitamin D levels with neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR). This study was conducted in 20 healthy volunteers and 27 BH who were in remission. The age, sex, and body mass index values (BMI) of both groups were recorded. Venous blood samples were taken from both groups at the end of 12 h fasting. Serum leptin, vit-D, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts were measured from the obtained sera according to the kit protocols. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of hsCRP, ESR, WBC, leptin, vit-D and NLR and PLR values (p> 0.05). Correlation of leptin levels with NLR and PLR values in both groups were not statistically significant (p>0.05). The results showed that there was no relationship between the measured values and the course of the diseaseBD
