  ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT Ultrasonographic (US) evaluation was performed in 19 patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) by a high-resolution 7-12 MHz linear transducer in a HDI 3500, ATL echo Doppler unit. Thickness of the epidermis and of the dermis of the affected skin sites were significantly greater compared with those of the adjacent normal skin. The echo score was significantly greater among patients with Hurley III stage of HS compared with those of Hurley I and Hurley II stages. A score greater than 8.5 had sensitivity 84.2% and specificity 94.7% to diagnose HS. The presented US findings may be a considerable clinical aid for the diagnosis and severity assessment of HS.
