[Behçet's syndrome]. / Syndroom van Behçet.

A dentist referred a 35-year-old woman to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery because of recurrent aphtous-like changes of the oral mucosa and persisting pain. She also experienced similar complaints about her eyes and genitals. This combination of symptoms was suspect for Behçet's disease.

[Hypersalivation, lesions of oral mucosa and generalized fatigue]. / Speekselvloed, slijmvlieslaesies en algehele malaise.

In this paper a patient with these complaints, who visited the emergency department of the Groningen University Hospital, is described. The patient appeared to be suffering from a specific form of erythema multiforma, viz. the syndrome of Stevens-Johnson.
