RESUMO
La enfermedad de Behçet es una enfermedad inflamatoria multisistémica crónica que evoluciona por brotes. Es más común en Asia y en los países de la cuenca mediterránea oriental (Ruta de la Seda). En España la prevalencia es de 5 a 10 casos por 100.000 habitantes. Es una enfermedad de difícil diagnóstico por las numerosas y variadas manifestaciones clínicas y porque no se dispone de pruebas de laboratorio patognomónicas. El retraso en el diagnóstico, frecuente en países de baja prevalencia como España, aumenta la morbilidad y la mortalidad de los pacientes con enfermedad de Behçet (AU)
Behçet's disease is an inflammatory multisystemic chronic disease that progresses by outbreaks. It is more common in Asia and countries in the eastern Mediterranean basin (Silk Route). In Spain the prevalence is between 5 and 10 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. It is a difficult disease to diagnose because of the multiple and varied clinical manifestations, and because there are not pathognomonic laboratory tests available. The delay in the diagnosis, which is frequent in countries of low prevalence like Spain, increases the morbidity and the mortality of patients with Behçetìs disease (AU)

It is a difficult disease to diagnose because of the multiple and varied clinical manifestations, and because there are not pathognomonic laboratory tests available. The delay in the diagnosis, which is frequent in countries of low prevalence like Spain, increases the morbidity and the mortality of patients with Behçtis disease.
