Purpose: Hydradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a repetitive chronic inflammatory disease of the apocrine glands, which is more common in women, especially after puberty. Primary holding areas consist of a symptomatic complex that varies from acne, inguinal, perianal, perineal areas, from a painful nodule, abse, sinus formation and hypertrophic scars. Principally obesity and metabolic syndrome, spondylarthritis, autoinflammatory diseases and some autoimmune diseases are more common in HS patients. This study aims to identify the ethological, demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who are followed in our clinic of romatology and have been diagnosed with HS. Tools and Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively in the Department of Romatology Sciences between January 2017 and December 2018. The study included 11 patients diagnosed with HS over the age of 18. Patients' epidemiological, clinical, laboratory findings and treatment information were obtained by examining the records. Results: 10 of the 11 patients diagnosed with HS were men and one female. The average age of patients is 40.9 (the smallest 22-the bigest 57). When evaluated from the point of view of accompanying rheumatoid diseases, there were four seronegative spondylarthropathy, three Behchet disease, a family Mediterranean fever, a rheumatoid arthritis, a gut and a SAPHO syndrome (sinovitis, acne, pystylosis, hyperostasis and osteitis) diagnoses. The result: the association of HS with rheumatism diseases can be observed. Therefore, a distinctive diagnosis should be carried out when patients monitored with the diagnosis of HS have rheumatoid approximations.

Objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a recurrent chronic inflammatory disease of the apocrine glands. It is more common in women, especially after puberty. The primary locations affected are the axillary, inguinal, perianal, and perineal regions, with a painful nodüle and a complex of symptoms ranging from abscesses to sinus formation and hypertrophic scars. Obesity and metabolic syndrome, especially spondyloarthritis, autoinflammatory diseases and some autoimmune diseases are more common in HS patients. In this study, we aimed to determine the etiologic factors, demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with HS who were attending our rheumatology clinic. Material and Methods: This study was performed retrospectively in the Department of Rheumatology between January 2017 and December 2018. Eleven patients diagnosed with HS and over 18 years of age were included in the study. Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory findings, along with treatment information file records of patients, were obtained through examinations. Results: Of 11 patients diagnosed with HS, 10 were male and one was female. The mean age of the patients was 40.9 years (minumum 22, maximum 57). When evaluated for concomitant rheumatologic diseases, four cases of spondyloarthritis, three of Behcet’s disease, one of Familial Mediterranean Fever, one of rheumatoid arthritis, one of gout and one of SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) were diagnosed. Conclusion: HS may be associated with rheumatic diseases. Therefore, a differential diagnosis should be made in patients followed up with the diagnosis of HS in the case of rheumatologic complaints.
