Abstract
VARGAS-CUERVO, María Teresa; SEVERICHE-BUENO, Diego Fernando; PARRA-BONILLA, Humberto Carlo and MONTANO-ROZO, Andrés. Behçet’s disease compared with inflammatory bowel disease. Differences in their clinical presentation. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.1, pp.98-102. Epub Oct 21, 2021. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.458.
Behçet’s disease is a rare disease with systemic involvement whose main manifestations include the gastrointestinal, 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.
