Abstract
Rifampicin/Clindamycin (RC) combination is recommended as first line therapy in moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) by European S1 guidelines (1–3), notably because a large variety of microorganisms have been isolated from HS lesions: most represented bacteria appear to be Staphylococcus aureus, Coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) and anaerobic bacteria from normal skin flora. It has been hypothesized that these bacteria could play a central role in the initiation and maybe in the maintenance of HS lesions, possibly by being a source of antigens in a dysregulated immune response.
