    TLDR COVID-19 can cause temporary hair loss, known as Telogen Effluvium, within two months of infection.
    The document reports on ten cases of Telogen Effluvium (T.E), a type of temporary hair loss, observed as a sequelae of COVID-19 infection. The study, conducted between May and August 2021, involved five males and five females with a median age of 21 years. All participants had been diagnosed with COVID-19 through positive RTPCR tests and had fully recovered without hospitalization. The onset of T.E occurred within a median of two months (range 1-2 months) following their COVID-19 infection. All ten cases showed early onset of T.E within three months of infection.
