Aim: This study explores the connection between Behçet's disease (BD), characterized by persistent oral and genital ulcers alongside iritis, and periodontal disease. It examines the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and nitric oxide (NO) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and saliva.
Methods: Forty Behçet's patients with gingivitis or periodontitis and 47 patients with either gingivitis or periodontitis but without BD were studied.

Whipple's disease is a rare disease linked to chronic infection with the intracellular gram-positive bacterium, Tropheryma whipplei. The clinical signs suggestive of this disease are the association of unexplained fever, lymphadenopathy, gastroenterological disorders (malabsorption) and inflammatory joint disorders (arthritis). However, isolated cardiological, neurological or ophthalmological forms have been described.

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the association between disease activity and serum and salivary procalcitonin (Pct) levels in patients with Behçet's disease (BD). The study included patients diagnosed with BD and age-matched healthy volunteers (N: 48, N: 32). Serum and salivary Pct levels were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the laboratories of Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training and Research Hospital.
