Spontaneous Complete Resolution of Alopecia Totalis Post SARS-CoV-2 Infection

The document presents a unique case of a 32-year-old female patient who had alopecia totalis (AT) for 13 years and experienced complete hair regrowth after recovering from a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite trying various treatments over the years, the patient had never achieved full hair regrowth. However, three months after recovering from COVID-19, while off her medication for 10 months, she experienced spontaneous total hair regrowth. This regrowth lasted for about a year before she experienced a recurrence of her AT. The authors speculate that the SARS-CoV-2 infection may have inhibited the autoimmune reaction against hair follicles, leading to hair regrowth. However, they also acknowledge the possibility that the two events were coincidental. This case contributes to the current knowledge about the potential association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and transient AT recovery.
