Detection and identification of early subclinical ultrasound signs in the lesional and perilesional areas of the HS cases in comparison with the control group were performed. Statistical analyses included mean, dispersion measures, the Kruskal\u2010Wallis test, and bivariate and multivariate ordered logistic regression studies.

Significant increases in the sizes of the hair follicles and hair shafts were found in HS cases. The following ultrasound signs were significantly linked to severity: a connecting band between the base of adjacent hair follicles (bridge sign), a fragment of the hair shaft extruding through a dilated hair follicle (sword sign), and retained cylindrical fragments of keratin in the dermis. Two patterns of fragmentation of the keratin were detected: multifragment and cylindrical.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Ultrasound can detect early HS signs that are significantly linked to severity and 2 types of fragmentation of the keratin, which could support the generation and perpetuation of the fluid collections and tunnels. These ultrasound signs can help prompt diagnosis and management, the development and testing of medications, and the measure of treatment outcomes in HS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jum.15164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,9]],"date-time":"2019-11-09T10:20:48Z","timestamp":1573294848000},"page":"845-857","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Seventy\u2010MHz
