Treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa: Surgery and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) –exclusion diet. Results after 6 years

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a complex disorder, the pathogenesis of which is still unsolved. The known association between hidradenitis suppurativa and Crohn ’s disease, an autoimmune disease diagnosed with the presence of Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies of the IgG family, suggests that a much more complex mechanism than a simple infectious disorder is involved. The goal of this study is to report patients’ characteristics and the outcome of 6 years of a yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)-exclusion diet and surgery in the treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa.
