Hidradenitis suppurativa in Down’s syndrome: A case report

The association of hidradenitis suppurativa with Down’s syndrome has long been suspected. First proposed in 1992 by Spanish authors [1], the connection came under the spotlight again more recently in a correspondence article published in the British Journal of Dermatology [2]. Including the five cases given in that article, there have only been ten such cases recorded worldwide to date, but the actual incidence of hidradenitis in Down’s syndrome may be much higher. Here the author presents another case.
