Description
Summary:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent disease of the hair follicle and the lesions are most commonly located in axillary, inframammary, inguinal and anogenital regions. HS is associated with several comorbidities including psychiatric disorders, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, spondyloarthropathies and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). In recent literature the association of HS with IBD has emerged as a new research area. Common genetic susceptibility loci, certain cytokine abnormalities and altered microbiota of skin and gut are the factors which have been suggested to play role in both HS and IBD. However, less data is available on HS in pediatric patients and associated IBDs compared to adult population. Here we present an association of HS and ulcerative colitis in a 14-year-old patient to emphasize the importance of regular assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms in children with HS as the evidence to date supports a link between HS and IBD.
