    TLDR COVID-19 increased hair loss, especially in women, linked to Azithromycin use and symptoms like fatigue and skin irritation.
    Durante a pandemia de COVID-19, houve um aumento na incidência de eflúvio telógeno, uma forma de queda de cabelo, entre os afetados pelo vírus. Um estudo retrospectivo com 204 voluntários, dos quais 127 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão, revelou que 41% relataram alopecia pós-COVID-19. Destes, 25% buscaram ajuda médica e 44% relataram impacto negativo na autoestima. A pesquisa encontrou uma associação significativa entre alopecia pós-COVID-19 e o uso de Azitromicina, além de uma relação com o sexo feminino e sintomas como cansaço, comprometimento da memória e irritação da pele. Conclui-se que é importante investigar mais para entender os mecanismos subjacentes e desenvolver tratamentos eficazes.
