Özet
Bu yazıda, ateş, baş ağrısı ve yorgunluk şikayetiyle başvuran, Behçet hastalığı seyrinde dissemine tüberküloz olan, 22 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Başlangıç tanısı nöro-Behçet sendromuydu. Romatizmal hastalıkların seyrinde görülen tüberküloz, genellikle TNF-alfa blokerlerinin kullanımıyla ilişkilendirilmektedir. Olgumuzda, hasta TNF-alfa blokeri kullanmamış olmasına rağmen, dissemine tüberküloz gelişti. Mevcut bilgilerimiz doğrultusunda, bu olgu, konvansiyonel immünosüpresif tedavi alan bir Behçet hastasında gelişen bu denli yaygın seyreden ilk tüberküloz olgusudur
In this article, a 22 year-old male with disseminated tuberculosis during the course of Behçet's disease who was admitted with the complaints of fever, headache and fatigue was presented. The initial diagnosis was neuro- Behçet's syndrome. Tuberculosis during the course of rheumatic diseases are often associated with the use of TNF-alpha blockers. In our case, the patient experienced severe disseminated tuberculosis, despite being TNF- alpha blocker-naive. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of tuberculosis with such a disseminated course developed in a patient with Behçet's disease who received conventional immunosuppressive treatment
