Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a skin chronic inflammatory disease typically located in several areas such as perianal, inguinal and axillary regions. In 40% to 70% of cases, general practitioners (GPs) are the first health care professionals consulted by patients suffering from HS. The role of GPs in HS management could be more substantial than it has been in the past.
We developed a questionnaire to assess the knowledge of HS by GPs and to evaluate if in their perception the dermatologist is the reference medical doctor for pathology above.
The data were processed by a univariate descriptive statistical analysis.
Our study showed GPs could recognise patients affected by HS. They have proven to know the main features of HS. Nevertheless, the second part of the questionnaire has highlighted the considerable confusion of GPs about who the reference figure is.
The data registered regarding therapy and follow up too, only show a mild preponderance of dermatologist compared to other professional figures, such as a surgeon, GPs and plastic surgeon.
化脓性汗腺炎（HS）是一种皮肤慢性炎症性疾病，通常发生在肛周、腹股沟和腋窝等多个部位。在40%至70%的病例中，全科医生（GPs）是HS患者咨询的首批医疗保健专业人员。全科医生在HS管理中的作用可能比过去更为重要。
我们设计了一份问卷，以评估全科医生对HS的了解程度，并评估在他们的认知中皮肤科医生是否是上述疾病的参考医生。
通过单变量描述性统计分析对数据进行处理。
我们的研究表明，全科医生能够识别HS患者。他们已被证明了解HS的主要特征。然而，问卷的第二部分突出显示了全科医生对参考人物是谁存在相当大的困惑。
记录的关于治疗和随访的数据也仅显示，与其他专业人员（如外科医生、全科医生和整形外科医生）相比，皮肤科医生略占优势。
