Case-Based Approach to HS Severity Grading & IL-17F Pathogenesis

Through a clinical case, this microlearning explores how to accurately assess hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) severity using practical grading approaches and clinical decision-making. Learners will examine the role of IL-17F in HS pathogenesis and how emerging insights into inflammatory pathways inform disease understanding and management.

Learning Objectives:

• Apply HS severity grading tools to accurately assess disease burden in a clinical case.
• Describe the role of IL-17F in the inflammatory mechanisms contributing to HS pathogenesis.
• Integrate clinical severity assessment with knowledge of HS immunology to support informed treatment decisions.
