Abstract
Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with systemic inflammation and high impact on quality of life. Treatment strategies are still inadequate with a lack of inflammation biomarkers. We conducted a prospective study to assess the correlation between serum amyloid A (SAA) levels and active lesion count; disease severity; Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI); smoking; BMI; and lesion sites.
Methods: Forty-one patients (M/F: 22/19) were enrolled. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and therapeutic data were assessed at baseline on patients not under treatment or in wash-out from systemic treatment for at least 2 weeks. Associations were investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses.
Results: SAA levels were significantly associated with number of nodules (p = 0.005), abscesses (p < 0.001), fistulas (p = 0.016), and severe IHS4 (p = 0.088 and r = 0.514). Gluteal localization was correlated with high values of mSartorius and severe IHS4.
Conclusions: We recommend assessment of SAA levels to monitor therapeutic response in patient with HS in order to prevent disease's flare and potential complications.
