摘要

Although hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is not primarily an infectious disease, antibiotics are widely used to treat HS. Recent microbiological data show that HS lesions are associated with pathogenic commensal bacteria that can cause soft tissue and skin infections. Analysis of the literature provides little information on the efficacy of antibiotics in HS but suggests a beneficial effect of certain antimicrobial treatments including remission, depending on the clinical severity of the disease. Prospective studies are needed to confirm and optimize the efficacy of AB in HS.
