Abstract
Digital clubbing has been a well recognised feature of several distinc t clinical conditions, including respiratory, cardiac, and gastrointes tinal diseases since the Hippocratic era. However, clubbing associated with Behcet's disease has not been reported before. We describe a cas e of clubbing in a young man with Behcet's disease, in the absence of any other apparent aetiology and propose that clubbing might be an acc ompanying feature of Behcet's disease.
