Recently, during a superb lecture on lupus erythematosus (LE), the following phrase slipped in: “hypertrophic LE was described by Behçet.” This is a common mistake with a simple explanation. Every dermatologist is proud to be able to spell Behçet, and when confronted with the name Bechet with the middle 2 letters transposed, one’s “intrinsic spell checker” converts Bechet to Behçet. When one searches for Bechet on www.jamadermatology.com, Behçet turns up quite often.
