Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how dietary habits and environmental factors affect the gut microbiome in people with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a chronic skin condition, by analyzing data from 80 participants, split between HS patients and healthy controls.
- Although no significant differences were found in overall microbiome diversity between the two groups, HS patients were found to consume more sugar and milk.
- The research highlights a correlation between coffee consumption and specific bacteria, suggesting that while microbiome diversity wasn’t affected, dietary habits could offer new opportunities for managing HS through lifestyle changes.

(CLM) is a dermatosis caused by accidental infestation with animal hookworms and is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. Humans become infected when their skin comes into contact with soil contaminated with dog faeces. The filariform larvae penetrate and burrow into human skin, causing a condition known as "creeping eruption".

The disease is characterized by persistent purulent lesions in specific anatomical areas, and its pathophysiology involves multiple factors, including inflammation, genetics, the microbiome, and environmental components. Recent research suggests a potential role for pathogenic bacteria in HS, highlighting the importance of the communication between the human host and the microbiome in maintaining homeostasis and immune system reactivity.

This study analysed the impact of AP on patient well-being in 102 patients with polycythaemia vera. Intensity of pruritus was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS), verbal rating scale (VRS) and a 4-item Itch Questionnaire.
