  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We treated 6 patients of Behçet's disease with peroral FK506, a macrolide immunosuppressant isolated from Streptomyces tsukubaensis. Severe ocular manifestations of the disease were present in 11 eyes. We started with the initial daily dose of 0.05 to 0.2 mg/kg, to be continued for 2 to 7 months, average 4 months. The treatment was effective in suppressing ocular attacks in 5 cases. Visual acuityimproved in 7 eyes. Extraocular manifestations improved in 3 cases. One case developed renal dysfunction. Another case showed impaired glucose tolerance. Minor side effects included sensation of warmth and eruptions. One case developed external ophthalmoplegia and enteric signs of the disease, apparently independent of the treatment. Above findings seemed to suggest the value of FK506 in suppressing severe ocular manifestations of Behçet's disease. Further clarification of side effects is necessary to recommend this agent as a standard treatment of the disease.
