Abstract

Stressful life situation can trigger the onset and flare-ups of Behçet’s disease (BD). In addition, the association of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and BD is rare. In this study, we report a patient who had Sjögren’s syndrome as a primary disease and subsequently developed SSc and BD after an earthquake disaster and the death of her father.
