Purpose
Autoimmune diseases are a common cause of delayed wound healing and should be considered in patients with chronic wounds who do not respond to local wound care or who fail skin grafting in the absence of infection.
A study by The George Washington University Ideas to Health laboratory indicates that the pro-inflammatory cytokine Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) was significantly elevated in wound fluid exudate from HS patients.
On the cover page of the immunology textbook Victoria Shanmugam used in medical school was a quotation that resonated with the young Londoner: “Immunology is the invention of the devil, who is making it up as he goes along because he is not too clear about this stuff either.”
