Manifestaciones gastrointestinales de la nfermedad de Behçet / Gastrointestinal manifestations of Behçet´s disease

Resumen La Enfermedad de Behçet (EB), es una entidad poco común, idiopática, de naturaleza crónica y recurrente con afectación multisistémica. Entre ellos, el tracto gastrointestinal ha suscitado especial interés, al asociarse a mayor morbimortalidad y dado sus presentaciones heterogéneas puede simular otras enfermedades gastrointestinales y ser un gran reto diagnóstico para el gastroenterólogo. Por lo tanto, presentamos una revisión narrativa donde se pretenderá describir las manifestaciones gastrointestinales de la EB y sus diagnósticos diferenciales.

Abstract Behçet's Disease (BD) is a rare, idiopathic, chronic and relapsing entity; characterized by multisystem involvement. The gastrointestinal tract has aroused special interest, as it is associated with higher morbidity and mortality and given its heterogeneous presentations, being able to simulate other gastrointestinal pathologies, becoming a great diagnostic challenge for gastroenterologists. Therefore, we present a narrative review, where we intend to describe the possible gastrointestinal manifestations of BD and its differentials.

Enfermedad relacionada con IgG4: revisión concisa de la literatura / IgG4-related disease: a concise review of the current literature

La enfermedad relacionada con IgG4 (ER-IgG4) es una entidad recientemente nominada para definir diversas enfermedades caracterizadas por infiltración linfoplasmocítica, fibrosis, presencia de un número aumentado de células IgG4+ y, en gran parte de los casos, niveles aumentados de IgG4 sérica, afectando frecuentemente el páncreas, las glándulas salivales y los ganglios linfáticos pero pudiendo comprometer casi cualquier estructura de la anatomía humana. Aunque su etiología se desconoce, se han realizado avances en el conocimiento de sus bases fisiopatológicas e inmunológicas, al igual que del rol de las células inflamatorias en el desarrollo de daño del órgano blanco. No existe hasta la fecha un consenso internacional sobre su diagnóstico, lo que no ha impedido avances terapéuticos muy importantes en su control y búsqueda de remisión. Se hace una revisión acerca de la historia, hipótesis sobre la etiología de la enfermedad, sus manifestaciones clínicas, abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico (AU)

IgG4-related disease is the term used to refer to a condition characterized by a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, fibrosis and an increased number of IgG4+ cells present in tissue, in most cases, with an elevated serum IgG4 level. This disease frequently affects the pancreas, salivary glands and lymph nodes, but can involve almost any tissue. Its etiology and the exact role of the different inflammatory cells in the damage to the target organ is still unclear. As yet, there is no international consensus about diagnostic criteria for the disease, but there are important advances in its treatment and in the quest to achieve remission. We include a review of the history, possible pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach and available therapeutic approaches (AU)
