The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce’s Ulysses (76 page)

38 (1997), p. 414 (Table 2). The largest Scottish study suggests the prevalence in Scotland is 2.7 per million (fifteen cases in a population of over five million). See J. Jankowski, et al., “Behçet’s Syndrome in Scotland,”

68 (1992), p. 568. Zouboulis suggests that about half of U.K. patients develop ocular symptoms (p. 416), while Chamberlain and Jankowski put the numbers lower. Only one-third of the Scottish patients studied had severe ocular symptoms (exhibiting posterior uveitis, not anterior). See Jankowski, p. 567. Chamberlain’s study recorded eight of thirty-two cases with eye problems and only four involving iridocyclitis. See M. A. Chamberlain, “Behçet’s Syndrome in 32 Patients in Yorkshire,”

36 (1997), pp. 491–9, p. 495. Both Chamberlain and Jankowski find that the disease is more prevalent among British women than British men. Taking high numbers in all cases of Behçet’s with ocular symptoms, we could roughly (and perhaps generously) estimate Joyce’s chances of having Behçet’s-indused iritis at three in a million. If Joyce did indeed have Behçet’s, he may have been, statistically, the only person in Dublin to have had it (Co. Dublin’s population in 1901 was 448,000). Suggesting that Joyce had Behçet’s rather than syphilis is like suggesting that a man staggering out of a pub and slurring his speech is suffering from a traumatic brain injury rather than a few too many drinks. It’s possible, but exceedingly unlikely.
