Abstract

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory disease of the apocrine gland-bearing areas frequently misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed. Its true prevalence is still unknown and there is an ongoing interest in this matter. The current study was a part of the Global Hidradenitis Suppurativa Atlas (GHiSA) initiative that is actively involved in better understanding the epidemiological characteristics of HS.

Methods: This study was a multicenter study in 2 tertiary care hospitals in Bucharest. After obtaining consent, data from 796 healthy accompanying adults were included. A validated screening questionnaire was used before the clinical examination of the screening-positive and randomly selected screening-negative participants, respectively.

Results: The prevalence of hidradenitis suppurativa in Bucharest, Romania was 0.75% (95% confidence interval: [0.35%-1.63%]).

Conclusion: There aren't any data available regarding the prevalence of hidradenitis suppurativa in Romania and the current report is the first paper addressing the prevalence of HS in the capital of Romania, Bucharest.
