Histopathology of alopecia areata, acute and chronic: Why is it important to the clinician?

It is important for clinicians and pathologists to recognize the different phases of AA, so that in the absence of the classic findings of a peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrate, a diagnosis of AA can still confidently be made.

Management of alopecia areata

Alopecia areata is a common condition characterised by sudden onset of patchy hair loss without signs of skin inflammation or scarring, and is a psychologically distressing disease and doctors should provide patients with realistic advice about treatments and their effectiveness.

Alopecia areata prevalence by gender and age

The authors describe the use of a non-ablative fractional resurfacing device utilized prior to the application of their photosensitizer to enhance the absorption of aminolevulinic acid into the skin.

Interventions for alopecia areata.

No RCTs were found on the use of diphencyprone, dinitrochlorobenzene, intralesional corticosteroids or dithranol although they are commonly used for the treatment of alopecia areata.

Topical minoxidil in the treatment of alopecia areata

The study by Dr W J MacLennan and others (3 March, p 701) has a bias which affects the conclusions and the fact that more of those living at home were breathless on dressing and had a history of falls may be because they are more likely to consult their doctor about these problems.

Prevalence of alopecia areata in the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

The prevalence of AA is presented as estimated from the findings of NHANES-I, a dermatologic examination of 20 749 individuals in a probability sample of the US population conducted from 1971 through 1974.
