June 2017 in “Pediatric Dermatology” This case report describes a 2-year-old boy in critical condition who developed anagen effluvium, possibly due to hypotension and hypoxia triggering hair follicle apoptosis.
November 2025 in “Scientific Reports” In this study, researchers linked SARS-CoV-2 infection to telogen effluvium in some COVID-19 patients by observing the accumulation of viral proteins in hair follicle cells, which may trigger stress responses and cell death, suggesting hair follicles as a potential target in COVID-19.
March 2024 in “CRC Press eBooks” In this study, telogen effluvium is characterized as a common condition in women involving sudden hair shedding due to hair follicles prematurely entering the telogen phase, with potential triggers including fever, childbirth, and stress.
November 2022 in “Medicina” This case report describes post-COVID-19 telogen effluvium in a 39-year-old patient, suggesting that COVID-19 may trigger significant hair loss as a late symptom.
