Is Behcet s disease contagious? Is Behcet s disease contagious?

Listen to the experts of Hefei Renai Oral Mucosal Hospital: Behcet's disease belongs to autoimmunity, because blood vessels are all over the body, as well as **, mucous membranes, eyes, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urinary, joints, nerves and many other organs are all over the body. Therefore, it is safe to say that Behcet's disease is not contagious.

Many people think that Behcet's disease is an infectious disease and a sexually transmitted disease. In fact, Behcet's is neither an infectious disease nor an STD. Behcet's disease is a chronic progressive multisystem lesion of unknown etiology based on small vasculitis.

Typically, Behcet's disease causes damage to several of these symptoms:

Oral lesions: mainly recurrent oral ulcers, which account for 99% of cases, and are distributed on the tip of the tongue and around the tongue, on the gingiva, on the inner or upper part of the lower or upper lip, and on the buccal mucosa. Appears in single eruptions or clusters, initially perceived as nodules, and soon develops into ulcers, ranging from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a soybean, round or irregularly shaped, with well-defined edges, varying shades, with a yellowish covering at the base and a redness around it.

It takes about two weeks to recover, and the early stage can be once a month.

Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, etc., through daily contact in some susceptible people. Behcet's disease is not a disease caused by direct contact with pathogens, so it is not a contagious disease. Therefore, in daily life, contact with Behcet's disease patients does not need to cause panic and distance.

After Behcet's disease, patients may develop symptoms such as mouth ulcers, ** lesions, and ophthalmatory lesions. However, due to the fact that the current research on Behcet's disease is not very clear, the pathogenesis and pathogenesis are not clear. Behcet's disease may be related to genetic factors, such as human leukocyte antigens.

In addition, some studies believe that the onset of Behcet's disease is related to the abnormal immune response caused by viral or bacterial infection, for example, tuberculosis infection induces the body's immune abnormalities and causes Behcet's disease, but not due to direct infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Although Behcet's disease is not contagious, because it can spread throughout the body and cause damage to other organs, patients need to be actively undertaken**, commonly used drugs are colchicine, thalidomide, glucocorticoids, etc. In addition, patients need to have regular check-ups and pay more attention to their own changes to avoid illness**.

Behcet's disease is not contagious. Behcet's disease is a type of rheumatic disease, and the classification is a type of vasculitis in rheumatism. Infectious diseases generally refer to infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, such as new crown pneumonia, which may be contagious.

Hello, Behcet's disease is not contagious, it is an autoimmune disease, the pathology changes to vasculitis, and patients often have recurrent oral and epithetical ulcers.

If it is conductive hearing loss, surgery can be performed, and if it is inductive deafness, it is recommended to treat it with medication under the guidance of a doctor.

I'm sorry, we can't do this question, you can ask the people around you or go to the relevant unit, I wish you a happy life.

Behcet's disease, which is a disease of the rheumatic immune system, falls under the category of vasculitis, which is not reasonably contagious, but there are examples of contagion.

At present, there are no specific serological tests for Behcet's disease, such as antinuclear antibodies, Anka antibodies, etc., and there are no specific tests for Behcet's disease, unlike rheumatoid arthritis or lupus erythematosus, which have some specific autoantibody tests. Patients with Behcet's disease are often associated with tuberculosis infection, and PPD tests may be done or tested positive for tuberculin. If it is strong positive, it can be helpful in diagnosing Behcet's disease.

In addition, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) can be checked, and ESR may be mildly elevated in Behcet's patients. Clinically, it can also do acupuncture response test, which is the only ** test with strong specificity in Behcet's disease. Of course, the practice varies from hospital to hospital, but after disinfection, use a sterile intradermal needle to take the cavity of the source, pierce the skin in the middle, and then withdraw, and observe the reaction of the needle after 48 hours.

If there are erythematous papules or white blisters, the result is positive.

In addition, if a rash usually appears at the blood drawing site, injection site, or injection site, it can be considered a positive skin test reaction, and it can also be used as a basis for diagnosing Behcet's disease. The diagnosis is confirmed by clinical findings and other laboratory tests, including the presence of ocular meningitis, uveitis, and mouth ulcers. However, it should be distinguished from other diseases, such as oral ulcers caused by immune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome, as well as ** reactions caused by other diseases.

Therefore, a definitive diagnosis can only be made through differential diagnosis.

Many patients are very unfamiliar with Behcet's disease and do not know what tests should be done after suffering from Behcet's disease, accurate laboratory tests are the main method to diagnose Behcet's disease, and general Behcet's disease patients may have increased blood sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) during the activity, patients can do acupuncture tests to see if the experimental response is positive.

Because some specific types of Behcet's disease can damage the intestines, nervous system, blood vessels, etc., specific examinations of these systems are required.

Neuro-Behcet's disease has increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure and a milder number of leukocytes.

Intracranial CT and magnetic resonance MRI examinations are helpful for brain, brainstem, and spinal cord lesions, and MRI examinations in the acute phase have high sensitivity and can detect ascending hyperintensity in the brainstem, paraventricular white matter, and basal ganglia. Long-term MRI should be distinguished from multiple sclerosis.

Gastrointestinal barium angiography, endoscopy, angiography, and color Doppler are helpful in diagnosing the location and extent of the lesion.

Plain x-rays of the lungs may show diffuse exudations or circular nodular opacities of varying degrees on single or bilateral days, and perihilar density may be increased in pulmonary infarction.

High-resolution CT or pulmonary angiography, radionuclide ventilation and perfusion scans are helpful in the diagnosis of lung lesions.

When Behcet's disease is diagnosed, it must be carried out in time**, because Behcet's disease has the characteristics of micro-disorders and vasculitis, so some Chinese patent medicines can be used to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis**, which is very beneficial to improve the condition.

When Behcet's disease is severe, aneurysms and manifestations of central nervous system involvement, such as Behcet's encephalopathy, should be paid close attention to, early diagnosis and systematic progress**, and most patients will have Behcet's disease well controlled. Cause.
