Telogen Effluvium in the Pediatric Population: A Review

This review of telogen effluvium in the pediatric population analyzed 14 articles encompassing 234 pediatric patients. The most common triggers identified were acute febrile illness and nutritional deficiencies, with a higher prevalence in females. Observation was the most frequent management approach. The study highlights the need for initial workup for common triggers and calls for further research into the management of pediatric telogen effluvium. The data is primarily derived from case reports, case series, and retrospective reviews.
