Ultrasound Detection of Early Signs Linked to the Severity& Tunnels in HS

Synopsis: Ultrasound can detect early HS signs that are significantly linked to severity and 2 types of fragmentation of the keratin, which could support the generation and perpetuation of the […]

Role of Interluken-17

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory skin condition affecting primarily the axillary, perianal, and inguinal areas. Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa present with occlusion and subsequent rupture of follicular ducts, profound […]

Matrix Remodeling & MMP Expression/Activation

Synopsis: Hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent, debilitating skin disease of the hair follicle, associated with considerable tissue remodelling. Although abnormal cytokine expression was detected both in […]

Defining HS Phenotypes

Synopsis: Background: It has been proposed that two main phenotypes of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) exist. This proposal is based upon different elementary structures detected in the skin, namely follicular subtypes […]

Dysregulation of the TH17: Treg Cell Axis

Synopsis: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, and debilitating disease of hair follicles with 1–4% prevalence and high morbidity. There is a dearth of information on the pathogenesis and […]

Keratinocytes and Neutrophils

Synopsis: Background The pathogenesis of the chronic inflammatory skin disease hidradenitis suppurativa (HS, also known as acne inversa) involves epidermal alterations such as psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia and keratin plugging. Keratinocytes […]

Pathophysiology of HS

Abstract The pathophysiology of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is not well understood. Some of our knowledge comes from clinical and epidemiological observations, along with studies of the histopathology and immunohistochemistry of […]

Greater Systemic Inflammatory Load

Synopsis: ​ Hidradenitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with recurrent nodules, tunnels, scarring and suppuration of intertriginous areas. Hospital-treated HS patients have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome and […]

Connecting the Tracts

Synopsis: HS is now believed to be a systemic inflammatory condition, contrary to previous hypotheses classifying HS as a purely cutaneous disorder. Many previously accepted models of HS pathogenesis are […]

Auto-inflammatory & Hair Follicle Involvement

Second International HS Research Symposium Abstracts The term “hidradenitis suppurativa” is firmly entrenched in the dermatological literature although it refers to a false pathogenetic concept. The term was historically coined […]

HS is an auto-inflammatory disease

Hidradenitis suppurativa is an auto‐inflammatory disease: results of an ex vivo study Synopsis: Immune dysregulation, carrying a strong IL‐1 signature, is implicated in the pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Interleukin […]
