Increased IL-1β levels are associated with an imbalance of "oxidant/antioxidant" status during Behçet's disease.

Background Behcet’s disease is a multisystem disease. It stands at the crossroad between the autoimmunity and auto-inflammatory disorders. In this study, we sought to address a relationship that might exist between interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and the oxidants/antioxidants markers in Behcet’s patients.
