A descriptive questionnaire based survey of 25 eye centres (from 14 countries) involving 1465 prevalent cases in 2006 was performed. Recurrent oral aphthous ulcers were reported in 94.5%, skin lesions in 69.5% and genital ulcers in 61.4%. Most of the patients had bilateral and recurrent intraocular inflammation. Panuveitis was significantly more frequent in men than women and men tended to have a worse visual outcome. Overall, 23% of the patients had visual acuity
