To assess inflammatory serum markers including serum proinflammatory cytokines, C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) according to the clinical inflammatory activity of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Patients and Methods. Seventy-four patients with HS were studied based on the Hidradenitis Suppurativa-Physician Global Assessment (HS-PGA) score and Hurley staging system. Proinflammatory cytokines were measured using a multiplex cytokine assay. Twenty-two healthy volunteers were recruited. Results. Serum interleukin-(IL-) 6, IL-23, soluble tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) receptor I (sTNF-RI), CRP, and ESR were different in the patients with HS compared with those in the healthy controls (P 0.25, P %K Keratinocytes %K Adalimumab %K Pathway %K Update %K Alpha %K Skin %~
