Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Patients with HIV: A Scoping Review

Abstract: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, debilitating skin disease of the apocrine glands. Bibliographic search revealed few studies concerning the association between HS and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). To assess this link, we performed a systematic review of the current knowledge through a careful analysis of the relevant and authoritative medical literature in the field. Results showed that people with HIV are particularly susceptible to developing HS with the characteristic involvement of atypica… Show more

“…Several autoimmune and endocrine disorders have been found to be associated with HS, including inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, arthritis, and polycystic ovary syndrome [20][21][22][23]. Additionally, viral infections such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) predispose patients to develop HS with the involvement of atypical sites, such as face or thighs [24]. However, no clear association was found between HS and COVID-19 infection [25].…”

“…HS comorbidities have been documented to affect multiple organ systems [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Although the precise pathogenesis of HS remains unknown, there is a consensus that it is a multifactorial disease involving immunological factors and the recruitment of self-perpetuating inflammatory mediators [ 14 ].…”

“…It typically affects the intertriginous (axillary, submammary and inguinal), and anogenital areas, which later can lead to the development of abscesses, sinus tracts and scars, with devastating impact on patient's quality of life (QoL) (1). The pathogenesis of HS is not yet well understood, but there is a general agreement on considering HS as a multifactorial disease having a plenty of implications with immunological factors and recruitment of self-perpetuating inflammatory mediators, which makes HS treatment a real challenge (4). HS is known to have a substantial impact on the QoL, being also associated with various comorbidities including increased cardiovascular risk, gastrointestinal, rheumatological and psychiatric comorbidities, as well as an increased risk of carcinogenesis (5).…”
