Host-defence defects in hidradenitis suppurativa patients have been suspected, but not proven. Activated neutrophils can destroy the surrounding tissues by a release of reactive oxygen species and active proteases. Peripheral neutrophils from 15 female patients (mean age 46, range 27-57 years) in an
Recent findings in familial hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) demonstrated loss-of-function mutations of components of the γ-secretase (GS) complex leading to decreased protease cleaving activity, which may compromise canonical Notch signalling. Appropriate Notch signalling is of pivotal importance for
BACKGROUND
Acne inversa (AI; MIM 142690), or hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), is a type of autosomal-dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations in γ-secretase. The complex of γ-secretase is a transmembrane protease that catalyses the cleavage of a set of membrane proteins and is comprised of four
This review focuses on dermatoses that are caused by the presence of sweat--a previously underemphasized subject. A working classification based on 'internal sweating' (extravasated sweat in the dermis and epidermis) and 'external sweating' (sweat on skin surface) is proposed. Clinical observations
Acne inversa (AI, OMIM 142690), also called hidradenitis suppurativa, is a chronic, inflammatory, recurrent and debilitating skin follicular disease that usually presents after puberty with painful, deep-seated, inflamed lesions in the apocrine gland-bearing areas of the body, most commonly the
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis manifesting as painful ulcers with violaceous, undermined borders on the lower extremities. It may occur in the context of classic syndromes like PAPA (pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum and acne) and SAPHO (synovitis, acne,
