Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
: Treatment of chronic, recalcitrant HS presents significant challenges and frustration to both the patient and the provider. In chronic, recalcitrant HS, wide surgical excision is considered the treatment of choice.13 In 2016, Join-Lambert et al investigated the use of intravenous (IV) ertapenem in 30 patients with severe, refractory HS.14 One gram of ertapenem daily for 6 weeks followed by consolidation antibiotics for 6 months demonstrated promising results in severe, recalcitrant HS.14 These patients reported significant improvements in pain, purulent drainage, and a decrease in handicap score.14 Additionally, this technique is less invasive than surgical excision.
