Résumé
Behcet's syndrome (BS) is a vasculitis characterized by immune dysregulation. Biomarkers are valuable for assessing clinically atypical pathogenesis. We aimed to investigate the distribution of different biomarkers and their effects on the clinical features of patients with BS in a large-scale, real-world study. This is a retrospective, single-center study. In total, 502 patients diagnosed with BS were enrolled in this study. We analyzed the clinical features of this cohort and divided patients' symptoms into six categories, including mucocutaneous, articular, neurological, gastrointestinal, vascular, and ocular involvements. HLA-B51 cells, autoantibodies, and subsets of immune cells from the patients were tested. Pearson's correlation, Wilcoxon rank sum test and multivariate logistic regression were used for data analysis. Various autoantibodies were detected in the serum of 40.8% of patients with BS. The positivity rate of anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) was the highest among autoantibodies and was found in 23.5% (118/502) of patients with BS. The positivity rate of HLA-B51 in patients with BS was 27.1%. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-2, and IL-4 producing CD4
