“…Of many subjective symptoms accompanying HS, pruritus seems to be one of the most overlooked/underappreciated. However, HS is not usually considered a pruritic disease, although pruritus is often mentioned as a symptom associated with it, mainly in its prodromal stage (20)(21)(22)(23)(24). The importance of pruritus as an initial symptom of HS has been emphasized in a recent study by Ring et al (22).…”

A growing body of research has indicated that pruritus is an important feature of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). This study evaluated pruritus and pain among 103 patients with HS. Pruritus and pain intensity were assessed with a visual analogue scale, numerical rating scale and 4-item Itch Questionnaire. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was implemented to assess quality of life (QoL) issues. Various clinical features and factors influencing pruritus were also examined. Pruritus and pain during the last week were reported among 41.7% and 77.5% of patients, respectively. The presence of pruritus did not have an impact on DLQI, nor did it show interaction with the pain in this regard. The presence of pain was a crucial contributor, even more relevant than disease severity. None-theless, intensity of pruritus correlated positively with DLQI. The most troublesome symptom of HS was pain, followed by exudation, pruritus, appearance and smell, consecutively. Pruritus of mild-to-moderate intensity is a common HS-associated symptom that adversely affects patients' QoL.

“…Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also called acne inversa, is a long‐term, recurrent, debilitating inflammatory dermatological disease of the hair follicles. It is characterized by abscesses, sinus tracts and scarring, mainly affecting the apocrine‐gland‐bearing regions (axillae and anogenital and inframammary areas) . Persistent lesions may result in sinus tracts, usually accompanied by pain and malodorous suppuration .…”

“…It is characterized by the appearance of a nodule that evolves towards suppuration and the formation of abscesses that can break up, giving way to productive fistulous orifices. 19,20 In addition to Verneuil's disease, some infections may lead to suppurative anoperineal lesions such as lymphogranuloma venereum or Nicolas Favre's disease, syphilis and amoebiasis. 5 Venereal lymphogranuloma, due to Chlamydia Trachomatis, may be the cause of condylomata, ulcerations and oozing fistulous pathways.…”

Isolated ano-perianal tuberculosis: challenging diagnosis

The tuberculosis is a public health issue. The ano-perianal localization is very rare, representing less than 0.7% of the digestive localizations. Basing on personal observation and literature review, we cite the diagnostic difficulties and the epidemic clinical, therapeutic and evolutive particularities of this rare entity. A 34year-old-women was admitted for the exploration of chronic suppuration of the perianal and gluteal region which has been in progress since 10years. Many investigations were made and we retained the diagnosis of ano-perianal tuberculosis localization after detecting the presence of Koch bacillus on Lowenstein Jensen culture of biopsies and stools. The patient was treated with Quadratherapy. Our observation illustrates the difficulties in diagnosing ano-perineal tuberculosis with chronic anal suppuration causing a delayed diagnosis and therapeutic management.
