The data on the clinical features and course of suppurative hidradenitis characterized by severe course and a tendency to relapse are presented. To select the treatment strategy the scale of the severity and staging process are proposed. The atypical localization of purulent suppurative hidradenitis and follicular occlusion tetrad, which also includes conglobata acne, folliculitis sycosiformis atrophicans / exfoliating scalp cellulitis and pilonidal abscess are described. It is proved that manifestation of suppurative hidradenitis are phenotypically heterogeneous. The role of genetic, comorbid factors, metabolic and hormonal disorders, as well as the role of the immune system in the development of the disease are discused. For the diagnosis index Sartorius (Sartorius score), microbiology, immunohistochemistry and other research methods, which largely determine the tactics of treatment of severe dermatosis were used.
Local and systemic methods are used for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa, the choice of which depends on the stage of the disease. For local treatment adapalene, clindamycin, azelaic acid, silver preparations in combination with surgical excision, laser therapy and cryo are used. For systemic treatment antibiotics (clindamycin, rifampicin, erythromycin, amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, minocycline), prednisolone, cytostatics (methotrexate, azathioprine, cyclosporine), retinoids, biologicals (etanercept, efalizumab, adalimumab, infliximab), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used. The aim of therapy is to get anti-inflammatory effect, the removal offollicular occlusion and pain, correction of immune and hormonal status, stimulation of healing of skin defects, improving the quality of life of patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
