    Glossary Lymphocytic Infiltration

    accumulation of immune cells in tissue causing inflammation

    Lymphocytic infiltration refers to the accumulation of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, in a particular tissue or organ. This often occurs as part of the body's immune response to infection, inflammation, or autoimmune conditions, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells. In the context of hair and alopecia, lymphocytic infiltration can be seen in conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system targets hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
