Preface

This is the first and most comprehensive book

dedicated to the understanding and treatment

of hidradenitis suppurativa. The most recent

monograph on this disease was Dr Benedek’s

supplement to Acta Dermatovenerologica in

1957 (1)! The long interval has not been justified

by a benign nature or quiet disposition of the

disease. This is a common and debilitating dis-

ease that significantly reduces the quality of life

for patients. In spite of this it has not achieved a

deserved level notoriety and scientific interest,

but remains an obscure an ill-understood men-

ace to the patients.

There may be several reasons for this neglect.

One reason may be that it is has been described

as a ‘heart sink’ disease, both for patients and

physicians alike. Patients often find it a debili-

tating and embarrassing disease with a high de-

gree of morbidity; and at the same time treating

physicians generally find it a difficult disease to

treat. Patients therefore hide their disease and

chose to suffer in silence rather than to seek

help. Physicians similarly often adopt a reduc-

tionist approach rather than seeking insight in

the face of the clinical challenge. Finally, it may

be that it is only now that a sufficient college of

experts have gathered.

It is therefore our hope that this book will be

of benefit to the many patients; and of inspira-

tion and insight to the many different specialists

treating the disease. We have adopted an open,

exploratory approach to the topic, rather than a

normative one. We have invited recognised ex-

perts to give their opinion and interpretation of

the disease, and left our own point of view to the

chapters summarizing pathogenesis and thera-

py. At points you may therefore find discussions

of e.g. apocrine glands with which the editors

may disagree, but rather than suppress informa-

tion we have sought to stimulate and inspire an

an open dialogue. The book is intended for both

concrete factual information, as well as inspira-

tion for further studies of aetiology, pathogen-

esis and therapy.

We would like to thank our colleagues for

generously sharing their insight and knowledge.

We would also like to thank Ms Ellen Nissen for

providing expert translation from French, the

anonymous patients for sharing their stories

and our publisher for a smooth and efficient

cooperation.
