Elevated levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-10 in hidradenitis suppurativa skin: a rationale for targeting TNF-α and IL-1β

This study shows for the first time that IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-10 levels are elevated in HS skin. These data provide a rationale for therapies with biologics targeting cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-1.
