Adalimumab (anti-TNF-α) treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa ameliorates skin inflammation: an in situ and ex vivo study

Summary

Background:  Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a difficult to manage disease. Randomized controlled trials with anti-TNF-α biologics have been conducted and in most studies disease activity was reduced. However, the mechanism of action in HS skin is so far unknown.
