It is thought to be auto-immune and characterized by attacks of oral and genital ulcers, arthritis, cutaneous lesions, ocular lesions, involvement of the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. However the etiology of BD is still unknown, infectious, psychological, genetic and immunological factors can be counted as the possible etiologic factors.
