Severe symptoms of Behçet's disease were induced after dental treatment in 2 patients with stable Behçet's disease. Similar symptoms were probably induced by the streptococcal antigen skin test in 4 patients. These observations suggest a possible role of the streptococcus in the pathogenesis of Behçet's disease.
