RESUMEN
According to data from the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most frequent cause of premature death. Several inflammatory and non-inflammatory skin diseases have been associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk (CVR). Here, we classified these conditions into traditionally CVR-associated and those that have been linked to a lesser degree. Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa are commonly associated with CVD, sharing common inflammatory pathways and a higher prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Many other diseases could be associated indirectly - with no common pathogenic features with the atheromatous disease - but share a higher prevalence of standard cardiovascular risk and chronic inflammatory state. This review aims to highlight the associated cardiovascular risk that exists for some dermatologic diseases and sensitize cardiologists, dermatologists, and first care providers to implement risk factor control promptly.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, with a low prevalence worldwide. There is little epidemiologic information available on this disease in Latin America, including Colombia. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and describe the main demographic characteristics of HS in Colombia. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study using the code of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) for HS (L732). For this study, data from the Comprehensive Social Protection Information System of the Ministry of Health of Colombia, which is the database on diagnoses made by physicians in all medical institutions of the country, were analyzed for the period 2013-2017. A total of 3,667 patients of HS were reported in Colombia, with a prevalence of 7.4/100,000 inhabitants; 68% of the patients affected were women, with a woman to man ratio of 2.1:1. The highest prevalence was in the age group of 35-39 years. Among the departments of Colombia, the highest prevalence was in Caldas, with 17 patients per 100,000 inhabitants. Ours was the second study conducted in Latin America on the epidemiology of HS. We found a low prevalence of HS, which was even lower than that reported in studies from other countries.

BACKGROUND: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic recurrent systemic inflammatory disease that mainly involves large skin folds. It develops when pilosebaceous units become blocked, leading to the formation of painful nodules, abscesses, fistulas, and scarring. The impact of this disease on quality of life is great. OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence and clinical features of hidradenitis suppurativa in patients treated at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires and determine the frequency of comorbidities and time to diagnosis in this population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study. Information was extracted from the computerized clinical records of all patients with a diagnosis of hidradenitis suppurativa managed in Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires between July 2012 and October 2017. RESULTS: Our initial search of the records yielded 180 cases; the diagnosis was confirmed in 66 cases. Sixty-five percent of the patients were women, and the mean age was 37 years. The prevalence of this diagnosis was 0.02%. The armpits, vulva, and groin were the locations most frequently affected. Smoking, overweight, and obesity were the most commonly recorded concomitant conditions. Male sex and perianal and gluteal locations were associated with severity. Time until diagnosis varied widely, ranging from diagnosis at the first visit in some cases to as long as 142 months and 21 visits. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings are consistent with the literature on hidradenitis suppurativa. This is the first Argentinian study to describe the prevalence of this disease as well as the concomitant conditions found and the rate of diagnostic error.

BACKGROUND:: Hidradenitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicles. A treatment is necessary due to chronicity and psychological changes that patient present. OBJECTIVE:: To investigate epidemiological aspects and elaborate a risk group profile, promote early diagnosis and contribute to the knowledge about the disease. METHODS:: This cross-sectional descriptive study with retrospective analysis of medical records of 194 patients diagnosed with hidrosadenitis in a dermatological reference center in the city of Bauru (SP) between 2005 and 2015. RESULTS:: Females accounted for 74% of cases. The age at diagnosis ranged from 10 to 67 years and the majority was within the 3rd and 4th decade of life. It occurred Association with diabetes mellitus in 33%, obesity in 55% and smoking in 61% was observed. Mean time between the onset of the disease and diagnosis was nine years. Hurley stage II was the most common at diagnosis. The therapeutic option mostly used in Hurley I and II was systemic antibiotics and in Hurley III was surgery. STUDY LIMITATIONS:: the main limitation of this study is its retrospective design, which does not allow the true clinical confirmation of the disease by investigators. CONCLUSION:: we outlined the following profile: women, caucasian, between 3rd and 4th decade of life, associated with obesity, smoking, late diagnosis and multiple potential therapeutic modalities. We highlight the importance of studies like this in order to identify risk groups and encourage early diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: Fistulous tracts in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are key signs of severity and their clinical evaluation alone may be limited for assessing their presence and morphology. There is also a need to determine the factors that allow reversibility of the anatomic changes in HS. OBJECTIVE: We sought to categorize fistulous tracts in HS. METHODS: A retrospective study of color Doppler ultrasound images of cases with positive clinical and sonographic criteria of HS with fistulous tracts was performed. The sonographic staging of HS, location, and anatomic characteristics of the tracts were registered and graded. Statistical analysis for correlating variables was performed using bivariate and multivariate studies. RESULTS: In all, 52 patients presenting 96 fistulous tracts met the criteria. Morphology was defined and a sonographic classification into 3 types of fistulae was developed. Type 3 concentrated 71% of the cases presenting communicating tracts, and type 2, 29%. Types 2 and 3 represented 63% of patients with multiple fistulous tracts. Fistulous tracts types 2 and 3 were significantly correlated with age 35 years or older and groin location. LIMITATIONS: Ultrasound cannot detect lesions less than 0.1 mm. CONCLUSION: Fistulous tracts in HS can be categorized using ultrasound, which may support earlier and more precise management.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a disease characterized by chronic follicular occlusion and secondary inflammation of the apocrine glands. The disease is uncommon but not rare. Further epidemiologic study is required to better determine HS prevalence in various populations. Women are affected three times more often than men, although HS tends to be more severe in men. The typical age of onset is in the second and third decades; HS is rare prior to puberty, and the prevalence is lower in older adults. A number of factors (particularly cigarette smoking) and comorbid conditions (especially obesity) are associated with HS, but causative relationships have not been established.

La hidradenitis supurativa es una entidad crónica, debilitante, que afecta las regiones axilares, perineo y submamarias. Se describe una prevalencia del 4 por ciento y su causa tiene que ver con oclusión folicular más que con un proceso de inflamación o de infección de las glándulas apocrinas. Su inicio es en la pubertad con nódulos inflamatorios recurrentes que se rompen espontáneamente o coalescen formando lesiones dérmicas y abscesos dérmicos profundos y dolorosos que dejan eventualmente cicatrices fibrosas, extensas y deformantes. Los tratamientos médicos clásicos o más recientes como inhibidores de FNT- alfa se pueden realizar en etapas tempranas pero la cirugía y últimamente el láser es lo que da mejor resultado en etapas más avanzadas. En esta primera parte abordamos el tema con su epidemióloga, etiología, clínica, diagnóstico y diagnóstico diferencial. En la parte II se revisará enfermedades asociadas, complicaciones y tratamiento.
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic and often debilitating disease affecting primaraly the axillae, perineum, and inframammary regions. A prevalence of 4 percent has been estimated and its etiology includes follicular occlusion rather than an inflammatory and infectious process of the apocrine glands. It start usually in puberty with recurrent inflammatory nodules, that rupture spontaneously or coalesce forming painful and deep dermal abscesses followed eventually by extensive, fibrous and disfigured scars. Medical treatments are useful ininitial stages of the disease like alpha tumor necrosis factor inhibitors but surgery and recently lasers are the solution for better results in advanced stages. In this first section epidemiology, etiology, clinical picture, diagnosis and differential diagnosis are reviewed. In the second section associated diseases, complications and treatment will be revised.
