Study Suggests New Treatment for Hidradenitis Suppurativa

March 19, 2017 (San Diego, California) — Six weeks of compassionate treatment with intravenous (IV) ertapenem resulted in a dramatic improvement in patients with severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). The treatment "is hardly seen in the literature for this disease," reported Aude Nassif, MD, here at the American Academy of Dermatology 70th Annual Meeting.

"It is the first time an antibiotic with no recognized anti-inflammatory activity has shown a real efficiency in HS, which raises the question of an infectious participation," said Dr. Nassif, who is from the Institute Pasteur in Paris, France.


Despite the response, this therapy must still be considered an induction Hidradenitis Suppurativa Treatment. "It needs complementary treatment with oral antibiotics and surgery. It can't prevent this, but it will help to reduce the number and size of excisions," she said.



The study follows one recently published by her group (Dermatology. 2011; 222:49-58), which assessed the efficacy of triple therapy (oral rifampin, moxifloxacin, and metronidazole) in HS patients; "however, results for stage 3 patients were unsatisfactory," she explained.

With triple therapy, "we kept seeing lapses in stage 3 patient’s right when they stopped metronidazole. This suggested that a more prolonged antianaerobic treatment could be necessary to treat these patients. But you can't prolong metronidazole beyond 6 weeks without serious risk of neuropathy. It is not recommended."

The approach with ertapenem was chosen because "it is easy to use (a once-a-day IV injection, which allows home treatment), it has a good tolerance profile," and it covers a wide spectrum of bacteria that are found in the superinfection of HS lesions.

"Unlike what is commonly thought, microbiological culture reveals a rich anaerobic bacteria flora in stage 2 and 3 HS lesions," she said.

  2. I'm 57 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had the flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting in underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they started to find a solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnosed with COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of Dr James total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet.

  5. God bless Dr .Odion for what he have done in my life,I’m here to testify about what Dr .Odion did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Rose Smith on the internet testifying about a Man called Dr .Odion on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, Dr .Odion prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as Dr .Odion assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HBV, HIV, ALS, HBP, CANCER etc. you can contact Dr.Odion for help via drodionherbalhome12@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2349019421176.
