    Author: Benamour S, Bennis R, Kerraous M, Zaoui A, Badaoui A, Amraoui A.
    Journal: J Mal Vasc; 1988; 13(3):222-30. PubMed ID: 3049879.
    Abstract:
    The authors report 73 cases of Behçet's disease with articular manifestations. Polyarthritis, generally considered to be rare, was found in 20.5 per cent of cases in this series. The unusual features are illustrated. Amongst them, two cases presented deforming and destructive lesions, which have been only exceptionally reported in the literature. A third case is unusual because of the association of Gougerot-Sjögren's syndrome with Behçet's disease and polyarthritis deformans. No cases of ankylosing spondylitis were observed. Lastly, the data of this series are compared with those of the literature.
