Behcet's: If you are referring to Behcet's disease, Treatment is contingent on severity and extent of the disease. Steroid treatment is the mainstay especially if critical organs are involved such as the eyes. There are other treatments such as TNF-inhibitors and even chemotherapy agents. These would be used in a more critical disease state. Clearly you need to follow the guidance of your treating physician
