BEHCET'S
DISEASE - A RARE AND MYSTIFYING ILLNESS``For decades
doctors and scientists around the world have been grappling with a rare
disease that is as devastating as it is painful. Its symptoms were first
written about more than 2,000 years ago by the physician Hippocrates. But
it wasn't until 1937 that Turkish dermatologist Dr. Hulushi Behcet correctly
identified the disease.``
Behcet's
Disease ``Hippocrates may have been the first physician
to describe this disease, several centuries B.C. In the 1930s, a
Turkish dermatologist, Hulusi Behcet, noted the triad of aphthous oral
ulcers, genital lesions, and recurrent eye inflammation and became the
first physician to describe the disease in modern times. ``Johns Hopkins
