Abstract
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has unclear pathophysiology and aetiology, but it is not an infectious disease. However, HS is frequently mistaken for an infection and patients with HS are treated for recurrent bacterial abscesses or admitted for sepsis. A systematic literature search that is published as a separate paper did not identify an index case that demonstrates that sepsis can originate in an HS lesion. However, because patients with HS get admitted for sepsis anyway, we wanted to characterize them.
