Management of Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Patients with Metabolic Comorbidities

چکیده
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory skin condition associated with an increased prevalence of individual metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and with the metabolic syndrome, as a constellation of these risk factors. This places affected patients at an increased risk of early cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Moreover, many of the therapeutic options, including the newer biologics, used in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa have both beneficial and adverse metabolic effects. Therefore, it is critical for physicians to consider the complex interactions between the disease process and the treatment options in the holistic management of these patients with an intrinsically higher risk of metabolic consequences. Other chronic systemic inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis have been studied more extensively with regard to their associations and share an underlying link with the metabolic syndrome; we can draw upon the existing knowledge in our understanding and management of hidradenitis suppurativa.

Microbial 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...

Recognizing and managing comorbidities and complications in hidradenitis suppurativa.
The list of comorbidities associated with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is extensive, although these diseases do not necessarily share a common causality. Among the categories of comorbidities that are observed are obesity, other skin diseases, inflammatory conditions, and genetic disorders. Complications include scarring, restricted movement resulting from scarring and fibrosis in underlying t...
