Correction to: Behçet’s disease in Egypt: a multicenter nationwide study on 1526 adult patients and review of the literature

The author wishes to correct the record and clarify that in the original version of this article in the Discussion section under “Prevalence over the country governorates” inadvertently presented incorrect data cited in the reference [30]. Originally reading “The prevalence rate in the North of Jordan was estimated as 6.6:100,000 and was considered high in relation to other countries in the universe [30].” this should have read as “The prevalence rate in the North of Jordan was estimated as 660:100.000 and was considered high in relation to other countries in the universe [30].” [bold text used to highlight problem area]
