Clinical Activity of Behcet’s Disease Associated with SARS-CoV-2 and Herpes Simplex Virus: Insights from Three Case Reports
The BD activity index scores of a BD patient with COVID-19 were lower than those with HSV-1 infection. This difference may be due to the recent SARS-CoV-2 infection in the patient, whereas reactivation of chronic latent HSV-1 in the other patients likely contributed to a longer history of clinical manifestations, resulting in increased disease activity.
