Eosinophils are not a reliable marker for diagnosing alopecia areata.

This study reviewed and reclassified 37 cases of primary scarring alopecia using histological methods to achieve more accurate diagnoses within subtypes like lupus erythematosus and lichen planopilaris.

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 study demonstrated that a 1-step, peroxidase-labeled conjugated antibody method provides more accurate immunoreactivity patterns in hair follicle substructures compared to the 2-step LSAB method, which may cause false-positive staining in sebaceous glands.

This case report describes white piedra infection of the scalp hair with a synergistic bacterial infection in two US native sisters, highlighting its relevance in diagnosing scalp hair concretions despite its rarity in North America.

This study observed distinct dermoscopic features in pityriasis versicolor that could aid in its differentiation from similar skin disorders.

This case report describes a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed both pneumonitis and nephritis, with identical immune complexes found in her lungs and kidneys, suggesting a common pathogenetic mechanism.

This article notes the lack of US prevalence data for primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecias due to the recent introduction of subtype-specific ICD-10 codes and highlights the importance of early diagnosis for hair preservation.

In this study, researchers found that patients with psoriasis had a higher probability of achieving and maintaining a clinical response using brodalumab compared to ustekinumab over 52 weeks, as measured by a multistate modelling approach based on absolute PASI scores.

This case report describes a 12-year-old boy with severe atopic dermatitis and comorbid alopecia areata who experienced complete hair regrowth and improved skin condition after 3 months of oral abrocitinib treatment, with no adverse reactions observed during a 1-year follow-up period.

This case report details a unique instance of pityriasis rubra pilaris affecting only the scalp, highlighting novel trichoscopic features and emphasizing the importance of recognizing this rare presentation for improved diagnosis and treatment.

This observational study aims to more accurately detect and localize Propionibacterium acnes in acne lesions by combining multiple microbiological visualization techniques, but it does not present new results on their causality to acne.

This case report describes a 19-year-old patient with systemic lupus and a composite heterozygosis SC with thalassemic component, highlighting the diagnostic challenge when symptoms of both conditions occur simultaneously.

In this study, baricitinib treatment for severe alopecia areata showed similar safety and led to hair regrowth improvements independent of atopic background, with 40.8% of patients with atopy achieving a significant response compared to 30.2% without atopy when using a 4 mg dose.

This review summarizes evidence that pityrosporum folliculitis in immunocompromised patients responds well to topical antifungals and treatment of underlying conditions, based on a limited number of studies with small sample sizes.

This study observed that lectin-binding patterns in skin appendage tumors reveal differences in sweat gland tumors compared to normal tissues, but pilosebaceous tumors maintained a similar lectin-binding pattern to their corresponding normal structures.

This article reviews the specific cosmetology needs and practices related to black skin, identifying associated complications, and emphasizes the need for a robust cosmetovigilance policy but reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that pseudopelade may be an autonomous disease based on its distinctive clinical and histopathological features not present in other scarring alopecias.

This report describes a case where a patient with acute generalized pustular psoriasis achieved remission using a combination of oral cyclosporin and PUVA therapy, maintaining remission 12 months after stopping treatment.

This letter to the editor reports a case of alopecia universalis occurring alongside minimal change nephrotic syndrome, but it presents no new clinical findings.

Syphilis can cause hair loss without other symptoms and should be considered when diagnosing unexplained hair loss.

This case report highlights that alopecia areata can mimic syphilitic alopecia in patients with recent or active syphilis, emphasizing the importance of trichoscopy in accurately diagnosing alopecia types and preventing misdiagnosis.

This study found that rabbits with mange showed significant declines in haemoglobin, PCV, and RBC count, alongside increased TLC and liver enzyme levels. Following treatment with ivermectin and proper management, recovery from the disease was observed.

This study found that histopathologic features such as a catagen/telogen shift, melanin in fibrous tracts, and small dystrophic follicles can help differentiate alopecia areata from pattern hair loss in the absence of peribulbar infiltrates.

This case report describes a woman diagnosed with paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome associated with Castleman's disease, leading to constrictive bronchiolitis and multiple organ involvement despite corticosteroid treatment.

This case report describes a rare instance of alopecia universalis occurring eight weeks after discontinuing pegylated interferon α and ribavirin therapy, highlighting the need for awareness among healthcare providers.

In this study at the IPB Taman Kencana campus, researchers found that all examined stray cats were infested with ectoparasites, primarily Ctenocephalides felis fleas, leading to health issues such as anemia and stress.
