Although skin-mucosa lesions are common in almost all patients with Behçet syndrome (BS), clinical properties may differ from one patient to another. Within BS, there are subsets with different organ involvement and hence probably different pathological pathways. These subsets can be described as a) solo skin-mucosa disease with no major organ involvement, b) eye disease, c) seronegative spondyloarthropathy-like disease (arthritis, enthesopathy, and folliculitis), d) Crohn-like disease, and finally the topic of this chapter: e) vascular disease.

The most common arthritic involvement in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is acute recurrent monoarthritis; however, sometimes spondyloarthropathy-like findings or typical ankylosing spondylitis may also ensue. Reported here is our favorable experience with infliximab in an FMF patient who had been resistant to colchicine and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (sulfasalazine and methotrexate) treatments. A 72-week follow-up of the patient yielded complete remission of the febrile abdominal episodes, and spondylitis responded well.
