Hidradenitis suppurativa association at the time of, or subsequent to, diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in a large U.S. patient population

Abstract

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a progressive, chronic, inflammatory disease resulting in nodules, abscesses, sinus tracts, and scarring. Although an association is reported for diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC),[1-7] prior to HS, a pathogenic link is not established.
