Abstract

Background: Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) often report opportunistic infections such as herpes and urinary tract infections. Aim: To compare opportunistic infections in patients with HS against a group of healthy controls (HCs). Methods: In total, 99 patients with HS and 109 HCs were recruited at random to this retrospective case–control study. We devised a questionnaire to explore the frequency of minor infections, general practitioner (GP) visits and sick days experienced during the past 6 months. Additionally, participants were asked if they felt unwell more often compared with their peers. Results: Patients with HS felt unwell more often than did HCs (26.3% vs. 7.3%, P
