Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also called acne inversa, is an inflammatory disease characterized by recurring, painful abscesses, and fistulous tracts, and can impact adults and pediatric patients. Symptoms of HS include pain and scarring as well as psychological consequences, such as embarrassment, social isolation, and depression, and is associated with a poor quality of life. Several studies suggest that the prevalence of HS ranges from 0.00033 to 4.1%, although underdiagnosis or improper diagnosis is an issue.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a chronic, debilitating illness that is mediated via cells of the immune system (eosinophils) eliciting T-helper 2 (Th2) cell mediated inflammation, affects several people globally and imparts significant impact on the quality of life (QoL) of the affected patient population. Advanced disease can lead to esophageal tissue remodeling and dysfunction, underscoring the importance of prompt diagnosis. However, evidence suggests delayed diagnosis for EoE occurs frequently.
