Description
Summary:Perineal and gluteal hidradenitis suppurativa is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin caused by concomitant occlusion of the apocrine glands. We present a case report of a young male with no co-morbid conditions in which histopathology and DNA PCR showed association of chronic hyderadenitis suppurativa with tuberculosis. There was relapse after three months of completion of anti tubercular therapy. He was subsequently treated successfully with wide excision, split thickness skin grafting and a defunctioning stoma.
