Behçet's disease associated with HIV infection.

The cooccurrence of Behçet's disease and human immunodeficiency virus infection is described in a 33-year-old man who died. If this is not a chance occurrence, then either the constellation of signs that characterize Behçet's disease may be simulated by complications of HIV infection, or else HIV infection causes, or predisposes to, a Behçet's-like illness.
