Abstract
Behçet\'s disease (BD) is a disease which has effects on different systems. Genital ulcer, apthous stomatitis and iritis triple symptom complex of BD. BD is considered to be a systemic vasculitis. Previously BD was accepted in spondyloarthropathy (SSpA) grup, but there are many reasons for not to classify BD as one of SSpA group. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a prototype of seronegative spondyloarthropathy, mainly axial skeleton is affected. In this paper we aimed to present a 33 year old female patient with coexisting BD and AS. In addition to that we aimed to discuss this coexistence.

Abstract
Behçet hastalığı (BH) farklı sistemler üzerine etkileri olan bir hastalıktır. Genital ülser, aftöz stomatit ve iritis, üçlü semptom kompleksi ile karakterizedir. BH sistemik bir vaskülit olarak kabul edilir. BH daha önceleri spondiloartropati (SSPA) grubu içerisinde kabul edilirdi, ancak BH’ yi SSPA grubu içerisinde sınıflandırmamak için pek çok neden vardır. Ankilozan spondilit (AS) özellikle aksiyal iskelet tutulumu ile seyreden seronegatif spondilartropati grubunun bir prototipidir. Bu yazıda BH’ na eşlik eden AS tablosuyla izlenen 33 yaşındaki bir kadın hastayı sunmayı ve bu iki hastalığın birlikteliğini tartışmayı amaçladık
