TLDR The document concludes that treating the underlying causes of telogen effluvium usually results in hair regrowth.

The document from 2011 discusses telogen effluvium, a condition where excessive hair shedding occurs due to disruptions in the hair growth cycle, often triggered by factors such as infections, medications, and hormonal changes. Diagnosis involves identifying triggers through clinical history, laboratory tests, hair pull tests, and sometimes scalp biopsy. A clinical case of a 57-year-old female patient is presented, who developed telogen effluvium after severe sepsis, influenced by infection, stress, medication, and changes in light exposure. Treatment focuses on addressing the causes, adjusting medications, ensuring nutrition, and possibly hormonal supplements, with a generally good prognosis for hair regrowth once the trigger is managed. The document highlights the importance of patient reassurance due to the distress caused by hair loss.
