Abstract

Behçet's disease is a clinical autoinflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, usually with systemic manifestations, and a pattern of exacerbation-remission, often associated with delayed diagnosis.

The diagnosis of this disease is complex. This article discusses four cases of patients with Behçet's disease, who during the clinical approach were considered to have other autoimmune diseases. A comprehensive review of the medical history, the development of oral and genital ulcers, in addition to the study of major histocompatibility complex typing (HLA), enabled the diagnosis of Behçet's disease.

Resumen

La enfermedad de Behçet (EB) es una entidad clínica autoinflamatoria, de etiología desconocida, generalmente con compromiso sistémico, con un patrón de exacerbación y remisión frecuente que se asocia a retraso en el diagnóstico.

El diagnóstico de esta enfermedad es complejo, por esta razón presentamos 4 casos de pacientes con EB, que durante el abordaje clínico fueron consideradas otras enfermedades de naturaleza autoinmune. La revisión integrada de la historia clínica, la aparición de úlceras orales y genitales, así como el estudio de tipificación del complejo mayor de histocompatibilidad (HLA) permitieron diagnosticar la EB.
