January 2022 in “Advances in Dermatology and Allergology” The study "Gut microbiota in alopecia areata" examines the gut microbiome of 25 patients with alopecia areata (AA) and finds a disturbed microflora characterized by an overrepresentation of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, and a reduction in Bacteroidetes, leading to a higher Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio. This pattern is similar to that seen in other conditions like obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. The study also notes a loss of microbial richness and diversity in AA patients.
