  • Title: Moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa treated with biological therapies.
    Author: Chinniah N, Cains GD.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 2014 May; 55(2):128-31. PubMed ID: 24456051.
    Abstract:
    Hidradenitis suppurativa is a debilitating disorder that can be difficult to manage with current conventional treatment strategies. Given its association with proinflammatory cytokines there has been interest in the use of novel biological monoclonal antibodies. We describe our experience with the use of these agents in six patients in whom conventional treatment had failed, with promising response noted in some patients. A growing number of studies now highlight the efficacy of these agents.
