Abstract

Background: The aim is to inform authors, investigators, and journal editors about the evolution and progression of Behcet symptoms or findings chronologically in evidence-based historical articles since Hippocratic writings to bring physicians with different areas of interest to a consensus and thus address the significance of consistency in the eponym "Behcet" among authors interested in Behcet's disease care and research, as science does not accept a "naming dilemma".
