Hidradenitis Suppurativa Found Associated With Cytokine Storm.

BACKGROUND

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that generates multiple cytokines. Here, we present an example of the cytokines forming a cytokine storm and its effects on the patient.

CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 55-year-old man who had severe but stable HS. Serum samples were collected from the patient and extraordinarily elevated cytokine concentrations were identified in the patient's serum. 

Conclusion

Cytokine storms may be a condition associated with HS posing additional risk to patient survival. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(5):e134-e136.     doi:10.36849/JDD.7860R1e.
