This study provides an updated systematic review and meta-analysis showing that alopecia areata is associated with significantly higher odds of several autoimmune and metabolic comorbidities compared to healthy controls.

This study reports that marked, deep dermal mucin deposition in a patient with alopecia areata may indicate underlying systemic lupus erythematosus, as this feature was not prevalent in other alopecia areata cases.

This study demonstrated the expression of type 1 interferon-related proteins in inflammatory lesions of alopecia areata, showing a distinct distribution pattern compared to cicatricial alopecia.

This study observed that non-scarring diffuse hair loss was common in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, but did not find a significant relationship with the SLE Disease Activity Index.

This study suggests that female patients with alopecia areata, especially those with nail abnormalities and atopic diseases, may have higher rates of coexisting autoimmune diseases.

This meta-analysis found that patients with alopecia areata have significantly higher odds of also having immune-mediated diseases such as atopic dermatitis, autoimmune thyroiditis, inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and vitiligo, suggesting a need for comprehensive screening and interdisciplinary management.

This review discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma in treating various forms of alopecia, including androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata, but provides no new clinical results.

In this case study, a 33-year-old female with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus experienced hair regrowth with no further loss after receiving a combination of systemic and local treatments.

This article discusses the diagnostic methods for differentiating alopecia areata from similar hair loss conditions and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis, but it reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the applications of platelet-rich plasma for non-scarring alopecia, including AGA and AA, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that female patients with alopecia areata, especially those with nail abnormalities and atopic diseases, have a higher prevalence of autoimmune disease comorbidities.

This paper reviews the complexity of nest alopecia's causes and associations, noting chronicity, recurrence, and associations with comorbid conditions, and presents two clinical cases, but reports no new quantitative findings.

This study found that trichoscopy, a non-invasive diagnostic method, may effectively differentiate between types of focal alopecia in the parietal area in adult women, indicating specific trichoscopic features for conditions like alopecia areata, discoid lupus erythematosus, and lichen planopilaris.

In this study, 25% of alopecia areata patients were found to have autoimmune disorders, with hypothyroidism being the most common, highlighting the importance of screening for autoimmune conditions, particularly thyroid disorders, in these patients.

Periodontitis may increase the risk of developing alopecia areata.

In this case report, tofacitinib led to significant improvement in arthritis and partial improvement in alopecia for a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus, with no observed adverse effects.

Follicular red dots can appear where alopecia areata and vitiligo overlap.

This review discusses the various common, rare, and unusual skin manifestations of lupus erythematosus and highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis, but it reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews the development of skin-specific outcome instruments for autoimmune diseases like cutaneous lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis, highlighting a need for a broader community-involved process across other diseases but reports no new results.

This study found that the Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) is correlated with both physician-assessed and patient-reported outcomes in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, particularly highlighting concerns about body image in visible areas.

This study found that while the CLASI is generally useful for assessing disease activity and damage in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, it may not accurately reflect all subtypes, indicating a need for revision.

This review summarizes current evidence on the use of contact immunotherapy, excluding alopecia areata, for various skin diseases, discussing its safety, efficacy, and the underlying mechanisms as reported from studies in the PubMed database.

This study reports a case of pustular allergic contact dermatitis following the use of 5% minoxidil solution in a female patient, highlighting an uncommon reaction to a frequently used dermatological treatment.

In this case report, a 31-year-old diabetic and obese male was diagnosed with follicular psoriasis, a rare variant characterized by scaly follicular papules, using dermoscopy and histopathology; treatment with topical mometasone furoate and oral levocetirizine led to complete lesion resolution within a month.

This article discusses different types of hair loss, their potential causes, and treatment options, but it reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the importance of considering the emotional impact on patients.

This case study reports a 26-year-old male with secondary syphilitic alopecia misdiagnosed as alopecia areata, likely contracted through non-penetrative sexual contact. Effective treatment with intramuscular benzathine penicillin G led to complete hair regrowth within three months.

This case series reports the specific dermoscopic features observed in two patients with syphilitic alopecia, highlighting alopecic patches with empty hair follicles and other distinguishing characteristics that may aid in differentiating it from other hair disorders.

This article discusses various types of primary cicatricial alopecias and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective management.

This case report describes two instances of rare linear alopecia on the occipital scalp, associated histologically with lupus erythematosus profundus, despite resembling alopecia areata clinically.

This review details common symptoms of rheumatic diseases and how to differentiate them from other conditions based on patient history and physical examination.
