Predefinição:Infobox disease Behçet's disease or Behçet disease (/bɛˈɛt/), sometimes called Behçet's syndrome, Morbus Behçet, Adamantiades syndrome, [1] or Silk Road disease, is a rare immune-mediated small-vessel systemic vasculitis[2] that often presents with mucous membrane ulceration and ocular problems. Behçet's disease (BD) was named in 1937 after the Turkish dermatologist Hulusi Behçet, who first described the triple-symptom complex of recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis. As a systemic disease, it can also involve visceral organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and neurological systems. As the disease can affect nearly every organ in the body, other conditions such as vasculitis, fibromyalgia, migraines/central nervous system problems,[necessário esclarecer] eyesight problems, tachycardia and joint pain and swelling are also commonly linked to Behçet's Disease.{{carece de fontes}} This syndrome can be fatal due to ruptured vascular aneurysms or severe neurological complications.[3]

Causa[editar | editar código-fonte]

The cause is not well-defined, but it is primarily characterized by auto-inflammation of the blood vessels. Although sometimes erroneously referred to as a "diagnosis of exclusion," the diagnosis can sometimes be reached by pathologic examination of the affected areas.[4]

The primary mechanism of the damage is an overactive immune system that seems to target the patient's own body. The involvement of a subset of T cells (Th17) seems to be important.[5] The primary cause is not well known. In fact, no one knows yet why the immune system starts to behave this way in Behçet's disease. There does however seem to be a genetic component involved, as first degree relatives of the affected patients are often affected in more than expected proportion for the general population. {{carece de fontes}}

An association with the GIMAP family of genes on the long arm of chromosome 7 (7q36.1) has been reported.[6] The genes implicated were GIMAP1, GIMAP2 and GIMAP4.

Fisiopatologia[editar | editar código-fonte]

HLA-B51 is strongly associated with Behçet's disease[7]

Behçet's disease is considered more prevalent in the areas surrounding the old silk trading routes in the Middle East and in Central Asia. Thus, it is sometimes known as Silk Road Disease. However, this disease is not restricted to people from these regions. A large number of serological studies show a linkage between the disease and HLA-B51.[8] HLA-B51 is more frequently found from the Middle East to South Eastern Siberia, but the incidence of B51 in some studies was 3 fold higher than the normal population. However, B51 tends not to be found in disease when a certain SUMO4 gene variant is involved,[9] and symptoms appear to be milder when HLA-B27 is present.[10] At the current time, a similar infectious origin has not yet been confirmed that leads to Behçet's disease, but certain strains of Streptococcus sanguinis has been found to have a homologous antigenicity.[11]

Vasculitis resulting in occlusion of the vessels supplying the optic nerve may be the cause of acute optic neuropathy and progressive optic atrophy in Behçet's disease. Histological evaluation in a reported case of acute optic neuropathy demonstrated substitution of the axonal portion of the optic nerve with fibrous astrocytes without retinal changes.[12] CNS involvement in Behçet's may lead to intracranial hypertension most commonly due to dural venous sinus thrombosis[13] [8-10] and subsequent secondary optic atrophy.

Pele e mucosas[editar | editar código-fonte]

Quase todos os pacientes se apresentam com ulcerações orais mucocutâneas dolorosas na forma de aftas ou ulcerações mucocutâneas não cicatrizantes.[3] As lesões orais são similares àquelas encontradas na doença inflamatória intestinal e podem reincidir.[3] Úlceras genitais dolorosas geralmente se desenvolvem ao redor do ânus, da vulva ou do escroto, repetindo-se em 75% dos pacientes.[3] Além disso, os pacientes podem se apresentar com eritema nodoso, vasculite pustular cutânea e lesões similares ao pioderma gangrenoso.[3]

Sistema ocular[editar | editar código-fonte]

Pode haver desenvolvimento de doença inflamatória ocular já nos estágios iniciais da doença, levando a uma perda permanente da visão em 20% dos casos. O envolvimento ocular pode se dar na forma de uveíte posterior, uveíte anterior ou vasculite retiniana. A uveíte anterior se apresenta com dor nos olhos, derrame conjuntival, hipópio e redução da acuidade visual, enquanto na uveíte posterior não há dor, mas cursa com redução da acuidade visual e alterações do campo visual. Uma forma rara de envolvimento ocular nesta síndrome é a vasculite retininana, que se apresenta com redução não dolorosa da visão com a possibilidade de alterações do campo visual.

O acometimento do nervo óptico na doença de Behçet é raro, se apresentando tipicamente como atrofia óptica progressiva e perda visual. Entretanto, casos de neuropatia óptica aguda (especificamente neuropatia óptica isquêmica anterior) já foram relatados.[14] A atrofia do nervo óptico tem sido identificada como a causa mais comum de dano à visão. A doença de Behçet pode resultar em envolvimento primário ou secundário do nervo óptico. Papiledema, como resultado de trombose de seio dural,[13] e atrofia resultante de doença retiniana têm sido caracterizados como causas secundárias de atrofia do nervo óptico na doença de Behçet.[15][12]

Sinais e sintomas de neuropatia óptica aguda incluem perda visual indolor, que pode afetar somente um dos olhos ou os dois, redução da visão de cores, defeito pupilar aferente relativo, escotoma central, edema do disco óptico, edema macular ou dor retrobulbar. Quando esses sintomas ocorrem simultâneos a ulcerações mucocutâneas, levantam a suspeita de neuropatia óptica aguda na doença de Behçet. A atrofia óptica progressiva pode resultar em redução da acuidade visual ou da visão de cores. Hipertensão intracraniana com papiledema pode estar presente.

Sistema gastrointestinal[editar | editar código-fonte]

As manifestações gastrointestinais incluem dor abdominal, náuseas e diarreia, que pode ser sanguinolenta. Frequentemente, há envolvimento da válvula ileocecal.[3] Muitos pacientes com doença de Behçet reclamam de sensibilidade abdominal, inchaço e desconforto abdominal geral, que pode imitar uma síndrome do intestino irritável.

Sistema respiratório[editar | editar código-fonte]

O acometimento pulmonar ocorre tipicamente na forma de hemoptise, pleurite, tosse ou febre. Em casos mais graves, pode haver risco de morte se houver desenvolvimento de aneurisma da artéria pulmonar seguida de ruptura, causando grave colapso vascular e morte por hemorragia nos pulmões.[3] Nódulos, consolidações, cavidades e lesões em vidro fosco são comuns em pacientes com envolvimento pulmonar.[5] Pode ocorrer trombose da artéria pulmonar.

Sistema musculoesquelético[editar | editar código-fonte]

Artralgia é observada em mais da metade dos pacientes e, em geral, trata-se de poli ou oligoartrite não erosiva principalmente nas grandes articulações dos membros inferiores.[3]

Sistema nervoso[editar | editar código-fonte]

O envolvimento do sistema nervoso central é mais frequente na forma de uma meningoencefalite crônica. As lesões tendem a ocorrer no tronco encefálico, nos gânglios basais e na substância branca profunda dos hemisférios e podem se assemelhar com as lesões da esclerose múltipla. A atrofia do tronco encefálio é observada em casos crônicos.

O acomentimento neurológico varia de uma meningite asséptica a uma trombose vascular, como a trombose de seio dural, manifestando-se com confusão, convulsões e perda de memória.[3] Frequentemente, surge mais tarde no progresso da doença, mas está associado a um mau prognóstico.

Sistema cardiovascular[editar | editar código-fonte]

A pericardite é uma manifestação cardíaca frequente.[5] A regurgitação aórtica crônica devido a doença da raiz aórtica também pode ser observada.[16]

Diagnóstico[editar | editar código-fonte]

There is no specific pathological testing or technique available for the diagnosis of the disease, although the International Study Group criteria for the disease are highly sensitive and specific, involving clinical criteria and a pathergy test.[3][17] Behçet's disease has a high degree of resemblance to diseases that cause mucocutaneous lesions such as Herpes simplex labialis, and therefore clinical suspicion should be maintained until all the common causes of oral lesions are ruled out from the differential diagnosis.

Visual acuity, or color vision loss with concurrent mucocutaneous lesions and/or systemic Behçet's symptoms should raise suspicion of optic nerve involvement in Behçet's disease and prompt a work-up for Behçet's disease if not previously diagnosed in addition to an ocular work-up. Diagnosis of Behçet's disease is based on clinical findings including oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions such as erythema nodosum, acne, or folliculitis, ocular inflammatory findings and a pathergy reaction. Inflammatory markers such ESR, and CRP may be elevated. A complete ophthalmic examination may include a slit lamp examination, optical coherence tomography to detect nerve loss, visual field examinations, fundoscopic examination to assess optic disc atrophy and retinal disease, fundoscopic angiography, and visual evoked potentials, which may demonstrate increased latency. Optic nerve enhancement may be identified on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in some patients with acute optic neuropathy. However, a normal study does not rule out optic neuropathy. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis may demonstrate elevated protein level with or without pleocytosis. Imaging including angiography may be indicated to identify dural venous sinus thrombosis as a cause of intracranial hypertension and optic atrophy.

Critérios diagnósticos[editar | editar código-fonte]

According to the International Study Group guidelines, for a patient to be diagnosed with Behçet's disease,[17] the patient must have oral (aphthous) ulcers (any shape, size, or number at least 3 times in any 12 months period) along with 2 out of the following 4 "hallmark" symptoms:

Despite the inclusive criteria set forth by the International Study Group, there are cases where not all the criteria can be met and therefore a diagnosis cannot readily be made. There is however a set of clinical findings that a physician can rely upon in making a tentative diagnosis of the disease; essentially Behçet's disease does not always follow the International Study Group guidelines and so a high degree of suspicion for a patient who presents having any number of the following findings is necessary:

Tratamento[editar | editar código-fonte]

Current treatment is aimed at easing the symptoms, reducing inflammation, and controlling the immune system. High dose Corticosteroid therapy (1 mg/kg/d oral prednisone) is indicated for severe disease manifestations.[18] Anti-TNF therapy such as infliximab has shown promise in treating the uveitis associated with the disease.[19][20] Another Anti-TNF agent, Etanercept, may be useful in patients with mainly skin and mucosal symptoms.[21]

Interferon alfa-2a may also be an effective alternative treatment, particularly for the genital and oral ulcers[22] as well as ocular lesions.[23] Azathioprine, when used in combination with interferon alfa-2b also shows promise,[24] and Colchicine can be useful for treating some genital ulcers, erythema nodosum, and arthritis.[25]

Thalidomide has also been used due to its immune-modifying effect.[26] Dapsone and rebamipide have been shown, in small studies, to have beneficial results for mucocutaneous lesions.[27][28]

Given its rarity, the optimal treatment for acute optic neuropathy in Behçet's disease has not been established. Early identification and treatment is essential. Response to ciclosporin, periocular triamcinolone, and IV methylprednisone followed by oral prednisone has been reported although relapses leading to irreversible visual loss may occur even with treatment.[29] Immunosuppressants such as interferon alpha and tumour necrosis factor antagonists may improve though not completely reverse symptoms of ocular Behçet's, which may progress over time despite treatment. When symptoms are limited to the anterior chamber of the eye prognosis is improved. Posterior involvement, particularly optic nerve involvement is a poor prognostic indicator. Secondary optic nerve atrophy is frequently irreversible. Lumbar puncture or surgical treatment may be required to prevent optic atrophy in cases of intracranial hypertension refractory to treatment with immunomodulators and steroids.

IVIG could be a treatment for severe[30] or complicated cases.[31][32]

Epidemiologia[editar | editar código-fonte]

The syndrome is rare in the United States, but is common in the Middle East and Asia, suggesting a possible cause endemic to the tropical areas.[33] It is not associated with cancer, and links with tissue-types (which are under investigation) are not certain. It also does not follow the usual pattern for autoimmune diseases. However, one study has revealed a possible connection to food allergies, particularly to dairy products.[34] An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 Americans have been diagnosed with this disease. In the UK, it is estimated to have about 1 case for every 100,000 people.[35] Globally, males are affected more frequently than females.[36] In the United States, more females are affected than males.{{carece de fontes}}

In an epidemiologic study, 56% of patients with Behçet's disease developed ocular involvement at a mean age of 30.[37] Ocular involvement was the first manifestation of Behçet's disease in 8.6% of patients.[37] Ocular Behçet's with involvement of the optic nerve is rarely reported. Among patients with ocular Behçet's disease funduscopic findings of optic atrophy, and optic disc paleness have been identified with a frequency of 17.9% and 7.4%, respectively. Other fundoscopic findings include vascular sheathing (23.7%),[15] retinal hemorrhage(9%),[15] macular edema(11.3%),[15] branch retinal vein occlusion(5.8%),[15] and retinal edema (6.6%).[15] However, optic atrophy was the most significant cause of visual impairment identified in 54% of patients with ocular Behçet's disease and permanent visual impairment.[15]

The prevalence of this disease increases from North to South. It follows a more severe course in patients with an early age of onset particularly in patients with eye and gastrointestinal involvement.[38]

Na gravidez[editar | editar código-fonte]

With Behçet's as an intercurrent disease in pregnancy, the pregnancy does not have an adverse effect on the course of Behçet's disease and may possibly ameliorate its course.[39][40] Still, there is a substantial variability in clinical course between patients and even for different pregnancies in the same patient.[39] Also, the other way around, Behçet's disease confers an increased risk of pregnancy complications, miscarriage and Cesarean section.[40]

História[editar | editar código-fonte]

Behçet disease is named after Hulusi Behçet (1889–1948), the Turkish dermatologist and scientist who first recognized the syndrome in one of his patients in 1924 and reported his research on the disease in Journal of Skin and Venereal Diseases in 1936.[41][42] The name (Morbus Behçet) was formally adopted at the International Congress of Dermatology in Geneva in September 1947. Symptoms of this disease may have been described by Hippocrates in the 5th century BC, in his Epidemion (book 3, case 7).[43] Its first modern formal description was published in 1922.[41]

Some sources use the term "Adamantiades' syndrome" or "Adamandiades-Behçet syndrome", for the work done by Benediktos Adamantiades.[44] However, the current World Health Organization/ICD-10 standard is "Behçet's disease". In 1991, Saudi Arabian medical researchers described neuro-Behçet's disease,[45] a neurological involvement in Behçet's disease, considered one of the most devastating manifestations of the disease.[46] The mechanism can be immune-mediated or thrombotic.[47] The term dates back to at least 1990.[48]
