5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Viral-associated trichodysplasia spinulosa: a case with electron microscopic and molecular detection of the trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated human polyomavirus
This case report describes the first confirmed instance of trichodysplasia spinulosa in a child with Down syndrome and leukemia, linking it to the TS-associated polyomavirus.
research Viral-Associated Trichodysplasia of Immunosuppression
This case report describes the youngest known patient with viral-associated trichodysplasia of immunosuppression, where systemic valganciclovir therapy improved facial papule eruptions following cardiac transplantation.
research Trichodysplasia spinulosa associated with chemotherapy for acute lymphocytic leukaemia
This case report describes the characteristic clinicopathological features of trichodysplasia spinulosa in two boys with acute lymphocytic leukemia, highlighting its resolution as immune function normalizes.
research Polyomavirus Associated Trichodysplasia Spinulosa in a Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipient
In this case study, a rare viral infection called trichodysplasia spinulosa was diagnosed in a 10-year-old girl post-kidney transplant; she was treated successfully with reduced immunosuppression alongside leflunomide and valganciclovir, though the efficacy of valganciclovir remains uncertain.

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
