dc.description.abstractObjective To evaluate the differences between BS patients with uveitis and BS patients without uveitis and healthy controls in terms of nailfold capillaroscopic examination. Methods The study was performed on patients with a definite diagnosis of BS according to the International Criteria for Behçet’s Disease, and healthy controls without BS. The participants were divided into three groups: BS patients with uveitis, BS patients without uveitis and healthy controls. All volunteers were examined by nailfold capillaroscopy for microvascular changes. Results A sample size of 90 participants, including 32 patients with BS with uveitis, 29 patients with BS without uveitis and 29 healthy controls, were included in our study. Fourteen (15.6%) BS patients with uveitis, 14 (15.6%) BS patients without uveitis and 16 (17.8%) healthy controls were female. In our study, we found microhaemorrhage occurrence to be significantly higher in BS patients with uveitis compared to the healthy control group (p=0.028). Although there was no significant difference compared to the BS without uveitis group, microhaemorrhage was approximately 2.5 times more common in the BS with uveitis group. The crossing medians were determined as 2.0 (0.8-3.3) in the BS with uveitis group, 1.3 (0.6-2.7) in the BS without uveitis group and 1.2 (0-3.2) in the healthy control group, showing a statistically significant difference across groups (p<0.001). In the post hoc crossing analysis, a significant difference was detected in the BS with uveitis group compared to the other two groups. A giant capillary was detected in one of the patients with uveitis, but no giant capillary was detected in the volunteers in the other groups. Conclusion Our findings show that microhemorrhage and crossing are associated with uveitis in BS patients. © Copyright CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RHEUMATOLOGY 2025.
