PASH syndrome (pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and suppurative hidradenitis) forms part of the spectrum of autoinflammatory diseases. We report an unusual case of PASH syndrome in a patient with end-stagerenal disease (ESRD) who was successfully treated with the tumor necrosis factor inhibitor, adalimumab. The case underscores the challenges associatedwith the treatment of PASH syndrome as well as the ongoing search to establish a genetic basis for the syndrome. Renal impairment has been reported in association with pyoderma gangrenosum but has notbeen described in PASH syndrome. We believe this to be the first reported case of a patient who developed PASH syndrome in the setting of ESRD.

Article Synopsis
  • * Genetic studies have identified issues with Notch signaling and inflammasome function in HS, while syndromic HS is linked to mutations in certain autoinflammatory syndromes like PAPA and PASH.
  • * Research in proteomics and microbiome profiling highlights inflammatory pathways and a disturbed balance of bacteria in HS lesions, while metabolomic studies reveal imbalances in tryptophan and lipid metabolism, indicating potential bacterial involvement; however, establishing strong links across these

Article Synopsis
  • PASH syndrome is an autoimmune condition that causes skin problems like acne and painful sores, which get worse over time.
  • A 36-year-old man had severe symptoms including skin ulcers and struggled to find effective treatments until he improved using Infliximab.
  • Treating PASH syndrome is tricky because it can be linked to other health issues, and doctors need to try different therapies to see what works best for each patient.

Background: Pyoderma gangrenosum, acne, and suppurative hidradenitis (PASH) syndrome is a rare condition characterized by clinical features of all three dermatologic conditions. The management of PASH syndrome is difficult, with no consensus on treatment guidelines. Since PASH syndrome can increase morbidity and adversely impact quality of life, better characterization of effective therapies is needed.
