CME Examination for February 2010 Issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology

The document provided instructions for completing a CME (Continuing Medical Education) examination for the February 2010 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. It included questions related to diagnosing and managing hair loss conditions. For example, a 45-year-old woman with diffuse hair shedding was likely diagnosed with diffuse alopecia areata, and appropriate management might include ordering blood ferritin and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels. Another case involved an 8-year-old boy with localized hair loss, likely diagnosed with patchy alopecia areata, where no routine blood test was indicated. The document also provided contact information for obtaining additional answer sheets and instructions for earning CME credit.
