Hulusi Behçet was born in Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, on 20 February 1889 [[1]]. Description of Behçet's disease or syndrome by Hulusi Behçet Clasically, the famous disease that bears his name - Behçet's disease or syndrome - has taken roots from his "three patients", which were examined by Hulusi Behçet: The first patient had been investigated by many physicians in Istanbul and Vienna without any diagnosis; then, the patient had become blind by the time he visited Behçet in 1924; The second patient was a woman with similar complaints composed of recurrent lesions in her mouth, eyes, and genital regions at the time she visited Behçet in 1930; and the third patient had fever and abdominal pain in addition to the findings of the second patient when observed by Behçet in 1936 [[2]].
