Project description:Background:Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder associated with inflammatory bowel disease. However, it can arise as a paradoxical side effect of anti-TNF treatment. Methods:The article reports on three patients with Crohn's disease who developed hidradenitis suppurativa during the treatment with adalimumab. Results:Case 1: A 38-year-old female exhibited an infiltrative lesion in the inguinal region and vulva, consistent with hidradenitis suppurativa, after three months of adalimumab. These lesions were treated with partial vulvectomy. Case 2: After adalimumab treatment, a 27-year-old female, originally diagnosed with ileocolonic Crohn's disease, went into clinical and endoscopic remission. The patient eventually presented two hyperchromic nodules in the inguinal region, which were diagnosed as hidradenitis suppurativa. The patient showed improvement after treatment with oral doxycycline and local therapy. Case 3: A 34-year-old female with fistulizing and stenosing ileocolonic Crohn's disease, started adalimumab in 2010, with optimization in 2015. One year after, the patient developed bilateral, erythematous, hardened, inguinal nodulations with purulent drainage, consistent with hidradenitis suppurativa. Treatment with oral doxycycline, fusidic acid, and infiltration with triamcinolone resulted in partial improvement of the lesions. In 2018, the lesions deteriorate. The patient underwent surgical treatment. Conclusion:Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are more likely to the development of other mediated inflammatory diseases, such as hidradenitis suppurativa. Hidradenitis suppurativa may appear as a paradoxical reaction to anti-TNF therapy. Clinical teams must be aware of this type of complication. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for controlling the disease and preventing the onset of complications.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests an association between chronic inflammatory conditions and oral health. Herein, we present a case of a 35-year-old woman with concomitant hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and periodontitis, who was treated successfully with adalimumab. After 3 months of treatment, a marked improvement was observed in her clinical scores of HS, quality of life, as well as her gingival pain and signs of inflammation. This finding calls for a closer collaboration between dermatologists and dentists to further explore the possible beneficial role of biologic therapy for chronic inflammatory skin conditions as well as periodontitis.

Project description:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease usually occurring after puberty with painful, deep-seated, inflammatory lesions in the apocrine gland-bearing areas of the body. Although HS pathogenesis is still unproven, recent major research advantages have increased our knowledge of the mechanisms behind HS lesions. Particularly, follicular occlusion followed by follicular rupture has been shown to be crucial to HS development, leading to immune response activation, and resulting in typical clinical HS lesions. Moreover, an increased and imbalanced cytokine production, such as interleukin (IL) 17 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α, may play a role in HS. In recent years, paradoxical adverse events have been described during treatment. Since the recent increased use of biologic treatments in HS, an increased number of paradoxical HS occurrences have been reported. In this review, we analyzed all current data on paradoxical HS triggered by biological drugs.

Project description:IntroductionPain is experienced by most patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and has a severe impact on their quality of life. Its management still presents a challenge. Adalimumab, a TNF-a antagonist, has shown promising results in HS-related pain reduction.ObjectivesTo aggregate and synthesize all existing evidence regarding the effect of adalimumab on HS-associated pain.MethodsWe identified original controlled and uncontrolled studies with participants receiving adalimumab, which included change in pain score post-treatment compared to baseline as an end-point. We searched MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. The primary endpoint of our study was the mean change (continuous variable) of pain scores at week 12 compared to baseline.ResultsWe performed a meta-analysis of 4 randomized controlled trials (282 patients in the intervention group and 266 patients in the control group). Adalimumab brought about a 0.418 reduction in mean pain score at its worst with 95%CI [-0.588, -0.248] and P = 0.000 at 12 weeks after treatment commencement. Four more studies were included in a qualitative synthesis, 2 of which reported statistically significant reduction in pain scores at week 12.ConclusionsAdalimumab could be prescribed more readily in cases of HS associated with significant pain.

Project description:Altered gut microbiota composition has been observed in individuals with hidradenitis suppurutiva (HS) and many other inflammatory diseases, including obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Here, we addressed whether adalimumab, a systemic anti-inflammatory therapy, may impact the microbiota biochemical profile, particularly on beneficial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). We conducted an observational single-arm pilot trial to assess gut microbiota composition by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and to detect metabolite signatures by gas chromatography in stool samples from participants with HS prior to and 12 weeks after commencing adalimumab therapy. HS individuals that better responded to adalimumab treatment showed a shift in the composition and function of the gut microbiota with significantly increased SCFA acetate and propionate compared to age, gender and BMI-matched healthy controls. A positive correlation was observed between propionate with Prevotella sp and Faecalibacterium prausnitsii. Increased SCFAs, changes in gut microbiota composition, function and metabolic profile following 12 weeks of adalimumab suggest that targeting SCFAs may be considered a potential biomarker to be evaluated as a complementary protective factor or as a diagnostically relevant signal in HS.

Project description:Elevated BMI in Hidradenitis Suppurativa is associated with decreased response to Adalimumab therapy. BMI is proposed to segregate distinct disease subtypes. It remains unresolved whether a threshold BMI exists above which increased dosages may provide clinical benefit. Individual patient data from 578 PIONEER Phase 3 participants were analyzed. Descriptive, multivariable regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were calculated to assess the relationship between BMI and clinical outcome measures using R v3.5.3. Participants in the overweight and obese BMI category had reduced odds (58 and 67%, respectively) of achieving HiSCR [OR = 0.42 (95%CI -0.19, 0.91) p = 0.03], [OR = 0.33 (95%CI 0.16, 0.67) p = 0.002] compared to participants with BMI < 25. Reduction in AN count and IHS4 score was not significantly associated. ROC analysis did not reveal any cut off value predictive of treatment outcome. No correlation between BMI and baseline disease activity or covariate interactions were identified. These findings suggest BMI is a significant covariate in the setting of lower baseline disease activity, supporting the concept of disease heterogeneity and differential therapeutic response to Adalimumab.

Project description:BackgroundBiologics are often required for the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). However, data on the drug survival of biologics in daily practice are currently lacking.ObjectivesTo assess the drug survival of antitumour necrosis factor biologics in a daily practice cohort of patients with HS and to identify predictors for drug survival.MethodsA retrospective multicentre study was performed in two academic dermatology centres in the Netherlands. Adult patients with HS using biologics between 2008 and 2020 were included. Drug survival was analysed with Kaplan-Meier survival curves and predictors of survival with univariate Cox regression analysis.ResultsThe overall drug survival of adalimumab (n = 104) at 12 and 24 months was 56·3% and 30·5%, respectively, which was predominantly determined by infectiveness. Older age (P = 0·02) and longer disease duration (P < 0·01) were associated with longer survival time. For infliximab (n = 44), overall drug survival was 58·3% and 48·6% at 12 and 24 months, respectively, and was predominantly determined by infectiveness and side-effects. Surgery during treatment was associated with a longer survival time (P = 0·01).ConclusionsSurvival rates were comparable for adalimumab and infliximab at 12 months, and were mainly determined by ineffectiveness. Age, disease duration (adalimumab) and surgery (infliximab) are predictors for longer survival.

Project description:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic debilitating disorder that can affect any areas bearing apocrine glands. Perineal HS is associated with high morbidity compared with other anatomic regions. Early-stage disease may mimic various other forms of cutaneous disorders, but as HS progresses pathognomonic skin changes occur. Clinical stage can guide the therapeutic approach, but the lowest recurrence rate is obtained by removing all involved skin and subcutaneous fat. Pruritus ani is a complex disease with a multitude of etiologies. Its management can be frustrating and disappointing for the patient and doctor alike. The key is to start with simple treatment options focusing on perianal hygiene and avoidance of the most common offending foods and beverages. If these measures fail, topical medications should be attempted before graduating to perianal injections of methylene blue as a last resort.

Project description:BackgroundHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a debilitating chronic inflammatory skin condition that typically requires consistent care. Contributory factors to why patients with HS miss their clinic appointments have not been investigated.ObjectivesThis article seeks to characterise reasons that HS patients do not keep their appointments and identify strategies to minimise no-show rates and improve delivery of care to HS patients.MethodsAn anonymous survey was distributed to online HS support groups.ResultsOf the 254 respondents, 18.9% reported ever missing an appointment for HS. Common reasons for missing an appointment include: patient was experiencing an HS flare (72.9%), prior poor experience with a healthcare provider (54.2%) or healthcare staff member (37.5%), embarrassment of condition (41.7%), and distrust that the appointment would help with management of HS (39.6%). Respondents who were non-White, who were disabled, or who had lower socioeconomic status were more likely to have missed an appointment (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThis study highlights areas where dermatologists may help improve appointment attendance, including encouraging patients to seek care during flares and striving to optimise the patient experience.

Project description:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by the presence of painful nodules, abscesses, chronically draining fistulas, and scarring in apocrine gland-bearing areas of the body. The exact pathogenesis of HS is not yet well understood, but there is a consensus in considering HS a multifactorial disease with a genetic predisposition, an inflammatory dysregulation, and an influence of environmental modifying factors. Therapeutic approach of HS is challenging due to the wide clinical manifestations of the disease and the complex pathogenesis. This review describes evidence for effectiveness of current and emerging HS therapies. Topical therapy, systemic treatments, biological agents, surgery, and light therapy have been used for HS with variable results. Adalimumab is the only US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved biologic agent for moderate-to-severe HS, but new therapeutic options are being studied, targeting different specific cytokines involved in HS pathogenesis. Comparing treatment outcomes between therapies is difficult due to the lack of randomized controlled trials. Treatment strategy should be selected in concordance to disease severity and requires combination of treatments in most cases.
