Did you mean Lymphocytic Inflammation?

GlossaryLymphocytic Inflammation

immune response where lymphocytes accumulate in tissue

Lymphocytic inflammation refers to a type of immune response where lymphocytes, a kind of white blood cell, accumulate in a particular tissue. This can occur in various conditions, including autoimmune diseases and infections, where the body's immune system targets its own cells or responds to pathogens. In the context of hair loss, such as in alopecia areata, lymphocytic inflammation can target hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
