What syndrome causes oral and genital aphthous-like ulcers and inflammation of the eye?

Behcet's
Scleroderma
Pemphigus
Pemphigoid

The correct answer is: Behcet's

Behcet's syndrome is the correct answer. Behcet's syndrome is a rare multisystem inflammatory disorder that can cause oral and genital aphthous-like ulcers, inflammation of the eyes (uveitis), and skin lesions. This condition is characterized by recurrent episodes of oral and genital ulcers, as well as inflammation in the eyes. The presence of these specific symptoms differentiates Behcet's syndrome from the other conditions listed. Scleroderma is a connective tissue disease that is characterized by thickening and hardening of the skin. While it can involve the oral cavity, it is not typically associated with oral and genital aphthous-like ulcers. Pemphigus and pemphigoid are autoimmune blistering disorders that primarily affect the skin and mucous membranes. While they can involve the oral cavity, they do not typically present with the combination of oral and genital ulcers and eye inflammation seen in Behcet's syndrome.
