Abstract

Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis affecting all vessel types. The etiology and pathogenesis of the disease are not clearly known. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) is a major proinflammatory molecule that has been shown to have a critical role in the pathogenesis of BD. This role was also supported by the articles reporting the effectiveness of anti-TNF agents in the treatment of BD. Infliximab is the most widely used anti-TNF agent in the treatment of BD patients with manifestations of eye, central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, vascular system and joint involvements. Although infliximab seems to be more effective and faster than the other two agents in the treatment of all manifestations, the relative frequency of infusion reactions and the administration route may limit the usage of this drug. Etanercept was found to be more effective in the treatment of patients with mucocutaneous disease and arthritis compared to other manifestations. In spite of its effectiveness being determined in only a limited number of manifestations, the easy administration route of etanercept can be an advantage in selected indications.

Özet

Behçet hastalığı (BH) bütün damar tiplerini etkileyen sistemik bir vaskülittir. Hastalığın etiyolojisi ve patogenezi açıkça bilinmemektedir. Tümör nekroz faktör α (TNF-α) BH patogenezinde kritik bir role sahip olduğu gösterilmiş bir majör proinflamatuvar moleküldür. Bu rol anti-TNF ajanların BH'nın tedavisinde etkili bulunduğunu belirten yayınlarca da desteklenmiştir. İnfliksimabBH'da üveit başta olmak üzere, santral sinir sistemi tutulumu, gastro-intestinal sistem tutulumu, mukokutanöz tutulum, vasküler tutulum ve artrit için en sık kullanılan anti-TNF ajandır. İinfliksimab tüm organ tutulumlarında diğer iki ajana göre daha hızlı ve etkili görünmekle birlikte uygulamaların hastane koşullarında yapılma gerekliliği ve infüzyon reaksiyonlarının sık görülmesi ilacın kullanımını sınırlayabilecek faktörler olarak değerlendirilebilir. Etanersept mukokutanöz tutulum ve artrit tedavisinde diğer tutulumlara oranla daha etkili bulunmaktadır. Etanersept daha sınırlı sayıda tutulumda etkili bulunmakla birlikte uygulama kolaylığı uygun endikasyonlarda bir avantaj olarak kullanılabilir. Adalimumab uygulama kolaylığı olarak etanercepte, etki mekanizması olarak infliximab'a benzeyen ve yapısı sayesinde daha az immünojenik olabileceği düşünülen bir anti-TNF ajandır. Adalimumabın da etkili bir tedavi seçeneği olabileceğini belirten az sayıda olgu sunumu mevcuttur. Anti-TNF ajanların başlıca yan etkileri infüzyon reaksiyonları, tüberküloz reaktivasyonu, antikor oluşumu ve viral enfeksiyonların tetiklenmesi olarak sıralanabilir. Anti-TNF ajanlar özellikle diğer ilaçlara direnç gösteren veya bu ilaçları tolere edemeyen Behçet hastalarının tedavisi için bir seçenek olabilir.
