Estudio de la prevalencia del síndrome metabólico en pacientes con hidradenitis supurativa. Estudio retrospectivo de los últimos 2 años en el Hospital Alejandro Posadas / Study of metabolic syndrome prevalence in pacients with suppurative hidradenitis. A retrospective study of the last 2 years in Hospital Alejandro Posadas

Antecedentes: La hidradenitis supurativa (HS) es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica relacionada con el síndrome metabólico (SM), con un mayor riesgo de comorbilidades cardiovasculares; por lo tanto, se debe mantener un alto grado de sospecha clínica frente al hallazgo de alguno de sus componentes. Objetivo: Evaluar la prevalencia del SM en los pacientes con diagnóstico de HS en comparación con la población general. Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo descriptivo. Métodos: Se revisaron las historias clínicas y el archivo fotográfico de los pacientes con diagnóstico de HS que consultaron entre el 1/9/2017 y el 31/8/2019. Se analizaron las variables: sexo, edad, antecedentes familiares, tiempo de evolución, índice de masa corporal, obesidad abdominal, laboratorio (glucemia y perfil lipídico), presión arterial, tabaquismo, número y localización de las lesiones, gravedad clinicoecográfica, respuesta al tratamiento y evolución clínica. Resultados: Se evaluaron 30 pacientes con HS valorados en nuestro servicio en los últimos 2 años; 23 mujeres y 7 varones. Predominó el grupo etario de 31-40 años. De ellos, 19 pacientes (63,3%) cumplieron con los criterios necesarios para diagnosticar el SM, hallazgo que no se relacionó con el grado de severidad de la HS. Conclusiones: La prevalencia del SM en nuestros pacientes con HS fue del 63,3% con respecto al 27,5% de la población general. La importancia de este hallazgo radica en detectar de forma temprana y oportuna la presencia de este síndrome en los pacientes con HS para evitar el riesgo de comorbilidades cardiovasculares en el futuro.

Background: Suppurative hidradenitis (SH) is a chronic, inflammatory disease, closely related to metabolic syndrome (MS), with an increased risk of cardiovascular comorbidities; for that reason we should keep a high level of clinical suspicion when one of its components is found. Objective: To evaluate MS prevalence in patients with diagnosis of SH in comparison with general population. Design: Descriptive retrospective study. Methods: We reviewed clinical and photographical files of patients with diagnosis of suppurative hidradenitis who consulted from 1/9/2017 until 31/8/2019. Variables analyzed were: sex, age, familial history, time of evolution, body mass index, abdominal obesity, glycemia, lipid profile, blood pressure, smoking, number and location of lesions, clinicalechographic severity, response to treatment and clinical evolution. Results: Thirty patients with SH were evaluated, 23 females and 7 males. The age group between 31-40 years prevailed; of these, 19 patients (63.3%) meet necessary criteria for diagnosis of MS, this finding did not correlate to the severity degree of SH. Conclusions: The MS prevalence in our SH patients was 63.3%, compared to 27.5% in the general population. The importance of this finding lays on detecting in an early and opportune way, the presence of MS in patients with SH, and to avoid the risk of future cardiovascular comorbidities. (AU)

Consensus on the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa - Brazilian Society of Dermatology

Abstract: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic immune mediated disease of universal distribution that causes great damage to the quality of life of the affected individual, whose prevalence is estimated at 0.41% in the Brazilian population. The objective of this work was update on physiopathogenesis, diagnosis and classification of hidradenitis suppurativa and to establish therapeutic recommendations in the Brazilian reality. It was organized as a work group composed of eight dermatologists from several institutions of the country with experience in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa and carried out review on the topic. Recommendations were elaborated and voted by modified Delphi system and statistical analysis of the results was performed. The Brazilian consensus on the clinical approach of hidradenitis suppurativa had the support of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology.

Hidradenitis suppurativa: epidemiological study of cases diagnosed at a dermatological reference center in the city of Bauru, in the Brazilian southeast State of São Paulo, between 2005 and 2015

Abstract: Background: Hidradenitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicles. A treatment is necessary due to chronicity and psychological changes that patient present. Objective: To investigate epidemiological aspects and elaborate a risk group profile, promote early diagnosis and contribute to the knowledge about the disease. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study with retrospective analysis of medical records of 194 patients diagnosed with hidrosadenitis in a dermatological reference center in the city of Bauru (SP) between 2005 and 2015. Results: Females accounted for 74% of cases. The age at diagnosis ranged from 10 to 67 years and the majority was within the 3rd and 4th decade of life. It occurred Association with diabetes mellitus in 33%, obesity in 55% and smoking in 61% was observed. Mean time between the onset of the disease and diagnosis was nine years. Hurley stage II was the most common at diagnosis. The therapeutic option mostly used in Hurley I and II was systemic antibiotics and in Hurley III was surgery. Study limitations: the main limitation of this study is its retrospective design, which does not allow the true clinical confirmation of the disease by investigators. Conclusion: we outlined the following profile: women, caucasian, between 3rd and 4th decade of life, associated with obesity, smoking, late diagnosis and multiple potential therapeutic modalities. We highlight the importance of studies like this in order to identify risk groups and encourage early diagnosis.

Hidrosadenitis supurativa (Parte I) / Hdradenitis suppurativa (Part I)

La hidradenitis supurativa es una entidad crónica, debilitante, que afecta las regiones axilares, perineo y submamarias. Se describe una prevalencia del 4 por ciento y su causa tiene que ver con oclusión folicular más que con un proceso de inflamación o de infección de las glándulas apocrinas. Su inicio es en la pubertad con nódulos inflamatorios recurrentes que se rompen espontáneamente o coalescen formando lesiones dérmicas y abscesos dérmicos profundos y dolorosos que dejan eventualmente cicatrices fibrosas, extensas y deformantes. Los tratamientos médicos clásicos o más recientes como inhibidores de FNT- alfa se pueden realizar en etapas tempranas pero la cirugía y últimamente el láser es lo que da mejor resultado en etapas más avanzadas. En esta primera parte abordamos el tema con su epidemióloga, etiología, clínica, diagnóstico y diagnóstico diferencial. En la parte II se revisará enfermedades asociadas, complicaciones y tratamiento.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and often debilitating disease affecting primaraly the axillae, perineum, and inframammary regions. A prevalence of 4 percent has been estimated and its etiology includes follicular occlusion rather than an inflammatory and infectious process of the apocrine glands. It start usually in puberty with recurrent inflammatory nodules, that rupture spontaneously or coalesce forming painful and deep dermal abscesses followed eventually by extensive, fibrous and disfigured scars. Medical treatments are useful ininitial stages of the disease like alpha tumor necrosis factor inhibitors but surgery and recently lasers are the solution for better results in advanced stages. In this first section epidemiology, etiology, clinical picture, diagnosis and differential diagnosis are reviewed. In the second section associated diseases, complications and treatment will be revised.

Hidradenitis supurativa: evaluación por resonancia magnética / Hidradenitis suppurativa (hs), evaluation using mri

This corresponds to an inflammatory disease of the apocrine glands, distributed mainly in the axillary, perineal and perianal regions, clinically characterized by pain, swelling, and smelly discharge. Treatment is expensive, long and leaves large scars, generating economic and psychological problems for the patient. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) helps to confirm the diagnosis and determine its extension, which allows it to be distinguished from other entities and to choose the best treatment. To our knowledge, there is only one review of literature dedicated to the characteristics of this pathology using MRI, therefore we present an illustrated literature review in different patients treated at our center.

Corresponde a una enfermedad inflamatoria de las glándulas apocrinas, distribuidas principalmente a nivel axilar, perineal y perianal, caracterizado clínicamente por dolor, tumefacción y secreción mal oliente. Su tratamiento es costoso, largo y deja grandes cicatrices, generando problemas económicos y psicológicos para el paciente. La resonancia magnética (RM) ayuda a confirmar el diagnóstico y a determinar su extensión, lo que permite diferenciarlo de otras entidades y elegir el mejor tratamiento. A nuestro conocimiento, existe sólo una revisión de la literatura dedicada a las características de esta patología en resonancia magnética, por lo que presentamos una revisión de la literatura ilustrada en diferentes pacientes tratados en nuestro centro de atención.

Hidrosadenitis supurativa glútea y perianal: tratamiento quirúrgico / Perianal and gluteal suppurativa hidradenitis: surgical treatment

Introducción: La hidrosadenitis supurada (HS) es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica que compromete las glándulas sudoríparas apócrinas, comenzando por la oclusión de los folículos pilosos. Puede localizarse en axilas, ingle, periné, periano y glúteos. Fue descripta en 1.839, es infrecuente y afecta a1 c/300-600 adultos. De acuerdo a sus características y estadio puede ser tratada médicamente o en forma quirúrgica. Objetivo: Comunicación del tratamiento quirúrgico realizado a pacientes portadores de HS localizada en la región glútea y perianal. Diseño: Trabajo descriptivo, retrospectivo y multicéntrico. Lugar de aplicación: Hosp. Santa María Magdalena de Magdalena, Hosp. HIGA San Martin de La Plata y práctica privada. Pacientes y métodos: Se analizan los resultados del tratamiento quirúrgico realizado a 7 pacientes que fueron tratados entre los años 2001 y 2011, que presentaban HS supurada glútea y perianal, con una edad promedio de 35,4 y un rango de 23 a 56. Cuatro de ellos con estadio II de Hurley a los cuales se les realizó marsupialización y drenaje y 3 con estadio III extirpación e injertos diferidos con piel del mismo paciente y una variante de injerto de piel porcina liofilizada que aceleró el tiempo de regeneración. Resultados: No se observó enfermedad de Crohn o carcinoma de células escamosas. De los 4 que fueron tratados con marsupialización, 2 evolucionaron favorablemente y fueron controlados durante 3 y 6 años respectivamente. El resto de ellos tuvieron recidivas a los 4 y 8 meses respectivamente, siendo tratados de la misma forma. Solamente 1 permanece en control desde hace tres años. Los 3 con extirpaciones e injertos diferidos son controlados en la actualidad sin presentar nuevas alteraciones, con un periodo de evolución de 5, 3 y 2 años respectivamente. No se realizaron colostomías de derivación. Conclusiones: Los métodos conservadores de tratamiento tienen poco efecto cuando la HS glútea y perianal es extensa...

Introduction: The hidrosadenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the apocrine sweat glands. This condition occludes the hair follicles and it can be found in the armpits, the groin, the perineum, the perianal area and the gluteus. It was first described in 1839 and it is a rare disease that affects 1 among 300-600 adults. Due to the stage and the features of the disease, it can be treated either with medication or with surgery. Purpose: The aim of this study is to report the surgical treatment carried out on patients suffering from HS in the perianal area and the gluteus. Layout: This is a descriptive, retrospective and multicentre study. Place: This study was carried out in the 'Hospital Santa María Magdalena', Magdalena, in the 1 Hospital HIGA San Martín, La Plata and in private practice. Patients and Methods: The results of the surgical treatment carried out on 7 patients who suffered from HS in the perianal area and the gluteus during the years 2001 and 2011 are analyzed. Those patients were 23-56 years old on average 35.4. Marsupialization and drainage was carried out on 4 patients who were in Hurley stage II. Surgical excisions and skin grafts stage III with the patient's own skin and lyophilized pigskin that speeded the time of regeneration were done to 3 patients. Results: Crohn's Disease or squamous cell carcinoma was not observed. 2 of the 4 patients who were treated with marsupialization recovered favorably and they were monitored during 3 and 6 years. The rest of the patients had recurrences within a period of 4 and 8 months. Only 1 patient has still been monitored for the last three years. The 3 patients who had excisions and skin grafts are monitored at present and they do not show alterations within a period of evolution of 5,3 and 2 years. No colostomy was perfonned. Conclusion: The traditional methods do not show useful results when the HS in the perianal area and the gluteus is extensive...

Hidradenitis suppurativa: literature review and case report

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent and debilitating disease, affecting mainly women, especially in their second and third decades of life. Its most common incidence is in the axillary, inguinal, perianal and inframammary regions. Its complications include chronic fistulizing processes, with involvement of important adjacent structures, such as the sacrum and coccyx, the anal sphincter, urethra and great-caliber vessels, such as the groin vessels. The proportions of some cases of HS requiring extensive surgical procedures at several moments and the application of flaps and grafts, justify unusual cases reports, like this one. The authors present a case of extensive involvement of the perianal and gluteal regions, which required extended resection with flap in the first approach and fistulectomy in a second surgical moment, with good result for the patient. (AU)

A hidradenite supurativa (HS) é uma doença crônica, recorrente e debilitante, que afeta principalmente mulheres, sobretudo na segunda e terceira décadas de vida. Incide mais nas regiões axilar, inguinal, perianal e inframamária. Dentre suas complicações crônicas, são descritos processos fistulizantes com comprometimento de estruturas importantes, como o sacro e o cóccix, aparelho esfincteriano, uretra e vasos calibrosos, como os inguinais. As proporções de alguns casos de HS, exigindo intervenções alargadas, em vários tempos e com aplicação de retalhos e enxertos justificam relatos de casos que fogem da rotina, como o atual. Os autores apresentam um caso de comprometimento extenso da região glútea e perianal, que exigiu ressecção alargada com retalho e fistulectomia em um segundo tempo cirúrgico, com bom resultado para a paciente.

Hidradenite supurativa perineal: avaliaçäo do tratamento cirúrgico em 18 anos de experiência / Perineal suppurative hidranetis: evaluation of surgical treatment

A hidradenite supurativa é definida como uma doença crônica, supurativa, bacteriana, que compromete os ductos das glândulas sudoríparas apócrinas e mistas, causando inflamaçäo. Foram avaliados, retrospectivamente, 27 pacientes portadores de hidradenite perineal, operados no Seviço de Coloproctologia do Hospital Heliópolis-SP, no período de janeiro de 1978 a outubro de 1996. Vinte e seis (96,2 por cento) pacientes eram de sexo masculino, com média etária de 47,6 anos. A localizaçäo foi múltipla na maior parte dos casos, com predomínio nas regiöes perineal, glútea, sacral e escrotal. O tratamento cirúrgico de escolha foi a ressecçäo em bloco em 22 (81,8 por cento) casos e fistulotomia com curetagem do leito e desbridamento das bordas da ferida em cinco (18,2 por cento). Colostomia derivativa foi necessária em sete (25,9 por cento) casos. Em 10 (37 por cento) pacientes foram realizados procedimentos plásticos: em seis, enxerto de pele parcial; em dois, enxerto associado a rotaçäo de retalho e nos outros dois, apenas rotaçäo de retalho. A média de internaçöes foi de 1,6 internaçöes por paciente, com uma média de 13,3 dias por internaçäo. Complicaçäo clínica ocorreu em um (3,4 por cento) foi decorrente de insuficiência renal aguda. Complicaçöes cirúrgicas ocorreram em três (10,2 por cento) casos e foram devidas a abscesso pelvi-retal, infecçäo grave da ferida operatória e invaginaçäo com necrose de mucosa da colostomia. Näo houve óbito e nenhum caso de carcinoma epidermóide associado à hidradenite. Recidiva ocorreu em dois (7,4 por cento) pacientes, os quais foram tratados por novas fistulotomias e curetagem. Concluímos que o tratamento cirúrgico para a hidradenite supurativa é confiável, efetivo e com baixos índices de recidiva
