Description
Baoping He and colleagues present a 2026 case series of vascular Behçet's disease in children, a rare and severe form where inflamed blood vessels dominate. Pediatric cases are extremely uncommon, so the authors reviewed five young patients to chart how the illness looks and how treatment plays out over time.
All five patients were girls, and every one had artery involvement, with some vein disease as well. Mouth and genital ulcers, skin nodules, fever, and belly pain were common, and gut scans showed intestinal ulcers in all five. Steroids paired with immune-suppressing or biologic drugs brought clear improvement, vessel lesions shrank or vanished, and gut ulcers healed on repeat checks.
