A Neglected Disease: Hidradenitis Suppurativa a Rare Cause of Amyloidosis Complicated With Sepsis and Renal Failure: A Case Report

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a painful relapsing inflammatory disease characterized with subcutaneous nodules, abscesses, tunnels, and deforming scars. We present a case of HS complicated with amyloidosis who was admitted with sepsis and acute renal failure. Case Report: A 53‐year‐old male patient with a history of HS and amyloidosis was accepted to the intensive care unit suffering from acute kidney failure and sepsis symptoms. He was receiving adalimumab during admission. He received hemodialysis and piperacillin–tazobactam antibiotherapy. After 15 days of hospitalization, his sepsis was treated, but he was taken to a routine hemodialysis programme. Conclusion: In the presence of amyloidosis with intervenient infections, the risk of chronic renal failure in HS cases can be kept in mind even if the patient is receiving TNF inhibitors.
