Abstract

Behcet's disease is a multisystemic chronic inflammatory disease which is presented as recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis, arthritis, and vascular disease. Venous thrombosis is the most common vascular complication. Venous thrombosis could be the result of endothelial inflammation. Rather than giving primary anticoagulation, by controling systemic inflammation the venous thrombotic events can be prevented. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme which is against fibrin build up. We report Serratiopeptidase induced diffuse ecchymotic hemorrhage of a patient with Behçet's disease.
