An introduction to Behcet's Syndrome, including epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic criteria, treatment, and prognosis. This is part of Strong Medicine's series on Underappreciated Diseases.

There is a variety of ways in which the Behcet of Behcet's Syndrome is pronounced around the world. In this video, I pronounce this condition with a soft ch sound ("beh-shet's"), which is by far the most common pronunciation in the US. Internet references state that in Turkey (the home of Dr. Behcet), Behcet is pronounced with a hard ch ("Beh-chet's"). However, the word should definitely not be pronounced with a silent T ("Beh-shay").
