    This letter to the editor discusses a rare case of alopecia areata multiplex occurring alongside chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The authors from the Department of Dermatology and Hematology at Osaka Metropolitan University Graduate School of Medicine highlight the unusual concurrence of these two autoimmune conditions. The case underscores the need for further research into the potential link between alopecia areata and ITP, as well as the underlying mechanisms that may contribute to their simultaneous manifestation.
