Purpose: The bacterial disease is a systemic vasculitis that affects the arteries and veins of all sizes.  In the disease, aortal and pulmonary arter aneurysm is among the causes of mortality. In the histopathology of aneurysm, a completely irregular fibrosis thickness in the vascular wall plays a role. With increased hardness in large veins, cardiovascular mortality and morbidity have been found to increase. We aimed at assessing the characteristics of pulmonary arterial elasticity in bacteria patients with ecocardiography (EKO), which is one of the non-invasive methods. Tools and Methods: The study included 27 Behchet patients (18 women, 9 men) and 21 healthy control groups (9 women, 12 men). The pulmonary artery was evaluated by ecocardiography. The pulmonary elasticity parameters were taken as pulmonary strain, beta index and distensibility. Results: 21 healthy control groups were taken to the study with 27 Behçet phenomena. According to the control group, the pulmonary arter strin and pulmonary arter distensibility values were found significantly lower in the Behcet disease group (p<0,001, p<0,001). The pulmonary arter beta index was significantly higher (p=0,022) . The result: the patient’s group has found that the pulmonary hardness has increased significantly according to the healthy control group.  In the early stages, in the test of pulmonary arterial anevrysis, the evaluation of pulmonary arterial hardness is a useful method by eco-cardiography.
