Hydroa Vacciniforme with Mucosal Involvement and Recalcitrant Periodontitis and Multiple Virus Reactivations After Sun Exposure

This analysis reports that hepatitis B surface protein antigen exposure is associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata.

This study found that psoriasis, acne, and androgenetic alopecia are associated with an atherogenic lipid profile, suggesting an increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, especially among psoriasis patients.

This review discusses the potential association between vaccination and alopecia areata, highlighted in case reports, notably with the hepatitis B virus vaccine, but provides no new results.

Herpes gestationis is linked to certain antigens, atopic eczema affects T cell populations and may be eased by breastfeeding, higher doses of anti-androgen treatment can improve androgenic alopecia, topical minoxidil increases hair thickness, long-term methotrexate therapy can cause liver fibrosis in psoriasis patients, and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus patients aren't at higher risk for autoimmune disorders.

This study found that men with vertex type androgenetic alopecia had higher triglyceride levels and lower HDL cholesterol levels compared to those with normal hair, suggesting it may be a marker of hyperlipidemia.
