| Popis: | Background/Objectives Many dermatologic and systemic diseases have been reported in association with hidradenitis suppurativa, but its association with Down syndrome is rarely mentioned in the literature. The objective of the current study was to assess the frequency of hidradenitis suppurativa in patients with Down syndrome who visited our clinic over 4 years. Methods We recorded the presenting complaints and dermatologic problems of patients with Down syndrome who visited our clinic from January 2011 to December 2014. Medical photographs were taken. Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa were assessed according to severity and treated with topical and systemic medications. Results Twenty-nine new patients with Down syndrome visited our clinic during this period. Eleven had hidradenitis suppurativa. Disease severity included Hurley stages I and II. Conclusion The presence of hidradenitis suppurativa in 38% of patients with Down syndrome is far higher than would be expected by chance alone. |
