This session will be a practical scientific review on the immunology of HS and the role of the local anatomy. The emerging role of the JAK/TEC and IL-17/23 pathways will be emphasized as an emerging understanding of the pathophysiology of this condition.
Learning Objectives:
- Diagram the inflammatory signals that are upregulated and the role of the JAK/TEC and IL-17/23 pathways in driving the inflammation of HS
- Describe the emerging therapeutic approaches for HS and how this influences the skin and hair follicles in typical sites of involvement
