Navigating Complex Comorbidities: A Case of Behcet?s Syndrome with Lumbar Disc Bulging and Cardiovascular Disease

KB Harshitha, Dr. G Anantha Lakshmi, Raghu Gaddam


Abstract: This study aims to explore the prevalence, clinical manifestations, prognosis, etiopathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of Behcet's Disease (BD), a chronic relapsing multisystem disorder. The research problem addresses the geographical and ethnic variations in the prevalence of BD, and the challenges in diagnosis, monitoring, prediction, and treatment personalization. This case study explores the complex management of Behcet's syndrome in a 41-year-old female, complicated by lumbar disc bulging and cardiovascular disease. The patient presented with recurrent oral ulcers, skin lesions, and severe lower back pain, and was managed using hydroxychloroquine and azathioprine to avoid corticosteroid complications. The study highlights the importance of personalized treatment in managing comorbidities, focusing on the benefits of early diagnosis, multimodal drug therapy, and close monitoring. The findings emphasize the need for a tailored therapeutic approach for improved outcomes.
