Background:Behcet’s disease (BD) is systemic vasculitis, which affects all types and sizes of vessels. Increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is parameter associated with subclinical atherosclerosis.Objectives:To determine the prevalence of atherosclerosis in pts with BD.Methods:95 BD pts were evaluated and 45 healthy controls matched for age and gender.IMT was assessed by high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography. Serum concentration of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs CRP) was measured by immunonephelometric assay (BN-100 Analyzer; Dade Behring). Lipid profile evaluation included total cholesterol, TGs, HDL, LDL and atherogenic index.Results:The male-to-female ratio was 3,7:1, the mean age of pts was 29.7 (23-35) yrs, the mean age at the disease onset - 19,9 (14-25) yrs, the mean disease duration - 9,6 (4-15) yrs.Conclusion:Coronary atherosclerosis in BD pts was lower than what we expected. The thinning IMT may be one of the risk factors for aneurysm formation in pts with BD.Disclosure of Interests:None declared
