ABSTRACT Objectives The aim of this study is to investigate the outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in our cohort of Behçet’s disease (BD) patients and to reveal the rate of BD exacerbations due to COVID-19. Methods Patients who have been followed with a diagnosis of BD were retrospectively investigated for a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 polymerized chain reaction (PCR) test. Data regarding demographics, clinical features and COVID-19 outcomes were collected from medical records for patients with a positive PCR. PCR-positive patients were reached via phone numbers, and ‘Behçet’s Disease Current Activity Form’ (BDCAF) scores for pre- and post-COVID-19 BD symptoms were calculated. Results Out of a total 648 BD patients, 59 were detected to have a positive PCR test. Three of the 59 patients (5.0%) were found to be hospitalized, none of them was admitted to the ICU or died. An increasing trend in the frequency of comorbid diseases and older age was observed in hospitalized patients. 32.2% of BD patients suffered from exacerbation of at least one symptom related to BD. Conclusions We observed no ICU admission or mortality with COVID-19 in our BD patient cohort. A substantial number of patients suffered from exacerbation of BD symptoms.

Behcet's Disease

Behçet’s disease is rare, especially in the paediatric population. In this case, a healthy 16-year-old made presented with discrete scrotal ulcers and systemic illness. He was found to have Fournier’s gangrene and with subsequent investigation was diagnosed with Behçet’s disease as an underlying cause. A PubMed search reveals no similar case reports. His only risk factors for Fournier’s gangrene was his raised body mass index. His only risk factor for Behçet’s disease was his ethnic origin. An understanding of risk factors and epidemiology can raise suspicion of these rare pathologies.
