We evaluated the value of systemic corticosteroid in the treatment of 61 cases of Behçet disease with ocular manifestations. Systemic corticosteroid was administered to 20 cases. The other 41 cases were treated without corticosteroid. The follow-up period averaged 6 years 4 months. Regardless of the length of observation, the steroid-treated, cases showed poorer visual acuity than the other 41 cases. The steroid-treated cases showed an average of 2.5 ± 2.0 inflammatory ocular attacks in contrast to 1.5±2.7 attacks in the other 41 cases. The cases treated without corticosteroid with impaired visual acuity showed gradual increase in the frequency of ocular attacks. The findings show that systemic corticosteroid therapy is not indicated to Behçet disease with ocular manifestations when evaluated with the fate of visual acuity and frequency of ocular attacks as parameters.
