Abstract
Background: Behcet Disease )BD( is a multisystem recurrent inflammatory disorder can range from minor mucous and skin lesions to potentially fatal lesions. As fatigue and health-related quality of life (QoL) assessment aids medical professionals in implementing clinical procedures efficiently, identifying their social, emotional, and physical requirements, and enhancing the standard of care.

Methods: This current cross-sectional observational study include 72 BD patients in Egypt, all of them subjected to assessment of disease activity, disease damage, QoL and fatigue using (The Behçet’s Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF), Behçet’s Damage Index (BDI), Arabic version of BD-QOL quationnaire and Fatigue assessment scale (FAS)) respectively.

Results: This current research included 72 participants with age range from 18 to 61 years and male predominance (73.6%). About 53% had poor QoL and 73.6% had mild to severe fatigue. There is statistically significant relation between fatigue and patients’ age, duration of the disease, BDCAF, BDI and neurological affection, (P<0.05). There is strong statistical correlation between QOL and patients’ gender females mainly, disease duration, BDCAF.

Conclusion: There was significant correlation between QOL and fatigue in BD patients and disease activity and damage.
