This paper reviews the differential diagnoses and diagnostic tests to distinguish alopecia areata from other types of hair loss, without providing new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 7-year-old female from the Middle East with monilethrix, highlighting the disease's rarity in this population, characterized by brittle, sparse hair and keratosis pilaris.

This systematic review identified topical and oral minoxidil as the most effective treatments for monilethrix, but noted the varying efficacy of oral retinoids and other treatments.

This report describes four cases of monilethrix in children and concludes that periodic inhibition of keratin synthesis, not a metabolic defect, may explain the hair abnormality.

This abstract describes monilethrix, an autosomal dominant genodermatosis with symptoms like hair fragility and keratosis pilaris, and does not report new experimental results.

This article reviews genetic mutations linked to monilethrix, a hereditary hair disorder, and reports no new clinical findings on the condition's variability in symptoms and severity.

This case report details the diagnosis of monilethrix in a 4-year-old boy, characterized by brittle hair and specific dermoscopic findings, and highlights the condition's hereditary nature and management through avoiding mechanical hair damage.

This study observed that the thinning and structural abnormalities in monilethrix-affected hair occur at the internodes due to possible periodic dysfunction of the hair matrix, particularly in the cortex.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix, experiencing hair fragility and loss after a fever, and showing improvement in hair density following treatment, despite persistent symptoms.

Monilethrix has no effective treatment, but avoiding hair trauma helps manage it.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with monilethrix, detailing hereditary autosomal dominant traits and distinctive nodular hair shaft abnormalities observed in her family through clinical examination and microscopic analysis.

In this study, oral etretinate resulted in increased hair length and loss of beading in a childhood monilethrix case, while the scalp's keratosis pilaris persisted.

This case study describes a 9-year-old boy with monilethrix and associated abnormalities, suggesting a new, severe autosomal recessive variant termed "monilethrix syndrome.

This article discusses monilethrix, a rare human hair dysplasia caused by mutations in hair keratins, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this case report, a Danish family with monilethrix showed varying symptoms, diagnosed via dermatoscopy, microscopy, and gene sequencing. The study highlights that while no cure exists, oral minoxidil shows promise in a single case, and reducing hair trauma remains key for management.

This study found that biliverdin beta and delta, metabolites of heme, play a critical role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa iron acquisition and cooperative behaviors, which are crucial for the bacterium's long-term infection in cystic fibrosis patients, suggesting potential targets for new therapies.

This article presents five family cases of monilethrix and reports that neither vitamins nor desquamative ointments are effective treatments, although symptoms may spontaneously regress over time.

This case report describes a three-year-old girl with a two-year history of hair loss who was previously treated with selenium sulfide shampoo, with no family history of alopecia.

This report on two Indian male siblings with monilethrix highlights trichoscopy's role in diagnosing this condition, which can be complicated by early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

This study reports that both aqueous and methanolic extracts of Tridax procumbens flowers demonstrated antibacterial activity against selected bacteria, indicating potential as antibacterial agents.

This case report describes a rare autosomal dominant hair shaft disorder, monilethrix, observed in three consecutive generations of a family, with gradual improvement noted with age.

This case report describes an eight-year-old Kashmiri boy diagnosed with monilethrix, a rare genetic hair disorder, characterized by a beaded appearance and fragility of the hair shaft.

Dermoscopy quickly and accurately diagnosed a rare hair disorder in a 12-year-old girl.

This study reports new monilethrix cases in Venezuela, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, expanding the known mutational spectrum of the disorder with novel mutations in KRT81, KRT83, and KRT86 genes.

Monilethrix involves multiple genes affecting hair structure, including DSG4 mutations.

This report describes a 7-year-old girl with monilethrix who showed significant improvement while on acitretin treatment, but symptoms returned after stopping the medication.

This case report describes a 12-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix, characterized by fragile, beaded hair shafts, with no effective treatment currently available.
