Remission of Refractory Intestinal Behcet's Disease with Infliximab / 대한류마티스학회지

ABSTRACT

Behcet's disease is a chronic, relapsing vasculitis of unknown origin that affects nearly all organs. The most frequent extra-oral sites of gastrointestinal involvement are the ileocecal lesion and the colon. The lesions are typically resistant to medical treatment and frequently recur with surgical treatment. We describe a patient who had intestinal Behcet's disease complicated perforation and enterocutanous fistula with a good response to infliximab.
