Abstrakt: We surveyed the 10-yr mortality among 152 Behçet's syndrome (BS) patients who had registered at a BS out-patient clinic and compared it to the expected mortahty in the general population. Information on mortality was available in 79% of the study group, among whom six patients (all male) had died. The observed mortality of two patients in the 15–24 yr age bracket was significantly above that expected in the general population. BS is a cause of increased mortality in the young male patients.
