Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) affects different patient populations that require unique considerations in their management. However, no HS guidelines for these populations exist.
OBJECTIVE: To provide evidence-based consensus recommendations for patients with HS in seven special patient populations: i) pregnancy, ii) breastfeeding, iii) pediatrics, iv) malignancy, v) tuberculosis infection, vi) hepatitis B or C infection, and vii) HIV disease.
METHODS: Recommendations were developed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system to ascertain level of evidence and selected through a modified Delphi consensus process.
RESULTS: 119 expert consensus statements are provided for the management of patients with HS across these seven special patient populations.
