Behçet's disease and immunosuppressive treatment. Our personal experience.

G B Bietti, L Cerulli, P Pivetti-Pezzi.   

Abstract

The authors describe the results obtained at the Eye Department of Rome University using immunosuppressive drugs in the treatment of Behcet's disease. Of 31 patients with the disease, 23 were treated with different immunosuppressive drugs. The results obtained suggest that chlorambucil is the best therapeutic agent in this severe disease. As compared with other immunosuppressive agents used, such as azathioprine and ALGG, chlorambucil was the least toxic, the best tolerated and the most effective one.
