Aravind Palraj: 2025 EULAR Behçet’s Syndrome Update – 5 Practical Take-Home Points

Aravind Palraj, Senior Resident in Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology at Madras Medical College, shared a post on X:

2025 EULAR Behçet’s syndrome update — 5 practical take-home points:

  • Colchicine remains first-line for recurrent mucocutaneous disease and acute arthritis
  • Behçet uveitis needs immunosuppression — glucocorticoids should not be used alone
  •  Pulmonary or peripheral arterial aneurysm – high-dose glucocorticoids with infliximab; embolisation is preferred over open surgery when intervention is needed
  • Venous thrombosis – control inflammation first; anticoagulation is not automatic and pulmonary artery aneurysm must be excluded
  • Major organ disease increasingly favors early intensive immunosuppression, often with monoclonal anti-TNF therapy

A useful update across mucocutaneous, ocular, vascular, neurologic and GI Behçet’s disease.”
