<i>Background:</i> Hormonal factors have long been proposed to play a role in Behçet’s disease (BD). Male sex, systemic onset, HLA-B51 positivity and a younger age of onset in BD are associated with severer disease, and the disease generally runs a milder course in women. Vascular involvement is more common, and the skin pathergy test (SPT)
