It is with great pleasure that I write this Foreword to the
Proceedings of the International Conference on Behcet's Disease
which was held in Berlin in June 2002. This was the first
International Conference held under the auspices of the
International Society for Behcet's Disease which was founded in
2000 in Seoul. First, I congratulate our colleagues in Berlin, led
by Professor Christos Zouboulis of the Department of Dermatology at
the Free University of Berlin, for having organised a most
successful conference and for having compiled these proceedings so
rapidly. It will be realised immediately on scanning the contents
of this book that the conference was truly international with 210
participants from 26 countries, as Professor Zouboulis has noted in
his preface. These included basic scientists, epidemiologists,
pathologists, clinicians and, importantly, representatives from
patient organisations. The latter held their own conference
alongside the scientific-medical conference to mutual benefit. The
combined session of patients and doctors (abstracts on pp 601 -
626) gave the opportunity for an exchange of information and
fruitful discussion. The wide ranging scope of the communications
is evident from the index and it was most encouraging to see their
origin - from all parts of the world, from senior and junior
colleagues and, from many different disciplines. Many
communications may be regarded as preliminary reports of research
in progress and we look forward to seeing the definitive
publications in appropriate journals in due course."
