Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic systemic vasculitis characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions, articular, neurological, vascular and sight-threatening ocular inflammation. BD is thought to share both autoimmune and autoinflammatory disease features. Neutrophils seem to play an instrumental role in BD and recent works regarding the role of neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs) provides new insight in the pathophysiology of BD and the mechanisms involved in immune thrombosis. This review provides a recent overview on the role of neutrophils and NETs in the pathogenesis of BD.
Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic systemic vasculitis characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions, articular, neurological, vascular and sight-threatening ocular inflammation. BD is thought to share both autoimmune and autoinflammatory disease features. BD is triggered by environmental factors such as infectious agents in genetically predisposed subjects. Neutrophils seem to play an instrumental role in BD and recent works regarding the role of neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs) provides new insight in the pathophysiology of BD and the mechanisms involved in immune thrombosis. This review provides a recent overview on the role of neutrophils and NETs in the pathogenesis of BD.
