    TLDR COVID-19 may trigger systemic lupus erythematosus in some people.
    The article presents observations of three cases where systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) developed 4-6 weeks after mild COVID-19 infections in women aged 22, 30, and 52. Symptoms included subfebrile temperatures, inflammatory arthralgia, and erythema, with the 52-year-old also experiencing hair loss and symptoms indicative of Sjögren's syndrome. Clinical and laboratory findings confirmed SLE, showing arthritis, dermatitis, serositis, and various blood abnormalities. The study suggests a potential link between COVID-19 and the onset of SLE, highlighting the need for further research into the autoimmune processes involved.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
