Resumen
ESTRADA-AGUILAR, Lorena et al. Mexican consensus on the clinical management of hidradenitis suppurativa. Med. interna Méx. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.4, pp.564-584. Epub 26-Mar-2021. ISSN 0186-4866. https://doi.org/10.24245/mim.v35i4.2909.
BACKGROUND:
Hidradenitis suppurativa is an inflammatory, chronic and recurrent disease with a high impact on patients quality of life, specifically in psychological and sexual aspects, as well as in labor productivity.
OBJECTIVE:
To generate a consensus document on the clinical management of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa in Mexico, that serves to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of these patients.
METHOD:
A multidisciplinary group was convened (dermatologists, gynecologists, surgeons, infectologists, proctologists) to analyze the evidence on the integral treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa (quality of life, clinimetry, diagnosis and treatment), located through a systematic review of the literature. The group discussed the issues and the recommendations were generated by unanimous agreement of the participants.
RESULTS:
Frequently, patients with hidradenitis suppurativa can take a long time to obtain the correct diagnosis and management, mainly due to the lack of evidence about the disease, as well as the lack of criteria to refer the patient to a specialist. Twenty-two recommendations were issued for the treatment of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, which include diagnosis, staging and clinimetry, as well as clinical management in the first, second and third levels of care.
CONCLUSIONS:
The recommendations were issued based on the best available evidence, as well as the experience of the multidisciplinary group of experts in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa.
