Rifampin alone may be enough. Is it time to abandon the classic oral clindamycin ‐ rifampicin combination for hidradenitis suppurativa?

Abstract

In this issue, a "Critically Appraised Topic" assesses the long‐term safety of clindamycin and rifampicin in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). 1 It concludes that the long‐term use of these drugs is generally safe.

As described in the CAT, the treatment approach with rifampicin was adapted from a case of dissecting cellulitis successfully treated with rifampicin as a monotherapy. 1 Based on hypothetical thinking, clindamycin was added to rifampicin to prevent the possible resistance development of Staphylococcus aureus, that was considered the pathophysiological essential bacteria of dissecting cellulitis.
