Autoimmune Associations of Alopecia Areata in Pediatric Population: A Study in a Tertiary Care Center

The study investigated the autoimmune associations of alopecia areata in a pediatric population at a tertiary care center. It found that a significant number of children with alopecia areata also had other autoimmune conditions, such as vitiligo and thyroid disorders. The findings suggested a strong link between alopecia areata and other autoimmune diseases in children, highlighting the importance of screening for these conditions in pediatric patients diagnosed with alopecia areata. The study emphasized the need for a multidisciplinary approach to manage these patients effectively.
