Is alopecia areata a hair disease only? In this presentation I summarize symtoms of alopecia areata beyond hair follicla and hair.
Focus on systemic immune activation, risk of cardiovascular diaseases, diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. The significance of the microbime of the gastrointestinal tract is shortly adressed and how transplantation of the gut microbiome / bacteria may effect hair regrowth.
Is it going to influence th standard of treatment in alopecia areata?
