Cyclosporine treatment of severe Hidradenitis suppurativa - A case series.

CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective review found some effect of CsA in the recalcitrant cases studied, mainly reported as "slight improvement". This may be due to a number of factors which may have overestimated (e.g. concommitant therapy) or underestimated (e.g. case selection of recalcitrant cases) the effect, and indicates the need for prospective evaluation of the claims. The present data provide a basis for power calculations in future studies investigating the potential for treating HS with CsA in a randomised controlled trial.
