Review Articles On Alopecia Areata

A is an autoimmune disease that attacks the hair follicles, causing hair loss without scarring. The Rochester Epidemiology Project's population studies estimate a lifetime incidence of AA of 2.1% in a population in Olmsted County, Minnesota, with no difference in incidence between the sexes. A systemic review of the epidemiology of AA indicated a similar global impact on lifespan of approximately 2%. Some smaller studies indicate a slight bias between women and men, but this may be due to a higher concern of women regarding hair loss and further treatment. The disorder can occur at any age and the impact on lifespan appears to be increasing at an almost linear rate. The median age at diagnosis is 33 years. Men are more likely to be diagnosed in childhood, while women are more likely to present in adolescence and have greater involvement of concomitant nails or concomitant autoimmune diseases.

A is generally in the form of smooth round plates, clearly delimited from hair loss without atrophy with “exclamation point hairs observed at the periphery of the patches. ) (total loss of hair from the scalp) or alopecia in an ophiasic pattern (loss of hair in the form of a band on the temporal and occipital scalp)] in one area and spontaneous regrowth of hair in another. Ophiasis inversus causes band-shaped hair loss in the frontoparietotemporal area
