A proposed scheme of pathogenesis of HS.
Abstract
<p>Patients with HS have monocytosis but cytokine responses of inflammatory monocytes and T17 lymphocytes are inhibited. This inhibition is mediated for T17 cells by tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα). When cells migrate to tissues from the blood vessels through the vascular endothelium, capacity for excess production of TNFα, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-1α, IL-6 and IL-17 is restored.</p- Image
