Behçet’s disease compared with inflammatory bowel disease. Differences in their clinical presentation

Abstract

Behçet’s disease is a rare disease with systemic involvement whose main manifestations include the gastroin-testinal, neurological, vascular, and articular systems, as well as the skin and eyes. Due to its multisystemic nature, it is often mistaken for other entities such as inflammatory bowel disease since they share multiple characteristics in their clinical presentation. A clinical case is described, and an epidemiological review of clinical manifestations is discussed to have better knowledge that allow identifying it on time. © 2021 Asociación Colombiana de Gastroenterología.
