ISSN 0001-5555 Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) occurs chiefly in areas rich in apocrine glands, such as the axillae and the genitocrural region, and was previously thought to originate from apocrine portal closure with subsequent bacterial infection of the apocrine sweat glands. However, it is now suggested that HS is an inflammatory disease originating from follicular occlusion rather than apocrine portal closure (1–3). Here, we report a case of HS, which developed rapidly on the leg, and may have been related to psoriasis vulgaris.

A comment on rapid progression of hidradenitis suppurativa in the lower leg of a patient with psoriasis vulgaris.
Sir, We read with interest the article by Tanaka et al. (1). However, we conclude that the patient could have botryomycosis rather than hidradenitis suppurativa. Botryomycosis is characterized by chronic, purulent and granulomatous lesions of the dermis and subdermal tissue. Morphologically, it is characterized by plaques with sinuses, superficial pustules and crusts (2). It is reported that th...

Sir, Anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) agents, such as infliximab, adalimumab and etanercept, are remarkably effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn's disease and psoriasis vulgaris (1–4). Recent case reports have described the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (5) and acne conglobata (6) with infliximab. Regardless of the dramatic improvement in symptoms, it ...

Hidradenitis suppurativa and acne conglobata are lesser known side effects, with only three reports so far. We report a patient, who had bipolar affective disorder, was on lithium for a long duration and developed hidradenitis suppurativa...
متن کاملMicrobial profile and antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolated from patients with hidradenitis suppurativa
Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of unknown etiology. There is evidence that bacteria may contribute to initiating the inflammatory response in HS patients. To date, data on bacteria found in HS lesions and their resistance rates are rare. Methods: The results of bacterial cultures and antibiotic susceptibility of the isolated bacteria obtained fr...

The low prevalence and heterogeneous presentation often leads to a significant diagnostic delay. Here, we provide an up-to-date overview of current insights into the pathogenesis and different treatment options. In addition, we describe the effects of anti-TNF treatment in thr...
