What is the prognosis for Behcets syndrome?
The prognosis for Behcet’s syndrome is generally poor. There has been a documented case of Behcet’s lasting for 17 years. Although the disease is considered painful but not fatal, when the central nervous system is involved there is usually severe disability and death often occurs. The condition is usually chronic, although there can be remissions during the course of the disease. There is no predictable method to determine which patients will progress into the more serious symptoms, and which might move into remission. Source: The Gale Group.
