Multicenter StudyOptimal Treatment Approaches to Intestinal Behçet's Disease Complicated by Myelodysplastic Syndrome: The KASID and KSBD Multicenter Study.
Studies on intestinal Behçet's disease (BD) complicated by myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are rare, and no established therapeutic guidelines exist. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical presentation and outcomes of patients with intestinal BD complicated by MDS (intestinal BD-MDS) and suggest a treatment strategy. ⋯ Patients with intestinal BD-MDS frequently have refractory diseases with high mortalities. HSCT can be an effective treatment modality for medically refractory patients with intestinal BD-MDS.
