Abstract:
To know prognosis of Behcet's disease with HLA-Bw 51 antigen, the comparative studies of 24 Behcet's disease were investigatied. Sex distribution was 14 males(58%) and 10 females(42%). The patients were grouped into three clinical types, complete type with 11 cases(45%), and incomplete type with 8 cases(33%) and suspect type with 5 cases(22%), acording to the criteria established by the Behcet's Disease Research Committee in Japan(1982) and were also divided into 3 ocular types according to the location of inflammation, anterior segment type, fundus type and mixed type. They were shared in 10%, 10%, 60% in HLA-Bw 51 negative group and 14%, 22%, 64% in HLA-Bw 51 positive group, respectively. Skin lesion was observed in 30% in HLA-Bw 51 negative group and 70% in HLA-Bw 51 positive group and it was statistically significant(p<0.01). The other general symptoms and the visual acuity between two group were not statistically significant(p>0.1).
