Presentation
Herein, we report a case of ADTA in a 42-year-old Indian female who presented with sudden onset of diffuse hair loss of only 1-day duration. [unboundmedicine.com]
A 42-year-old female presented to us with acute onset of diffuse hair loss from the scalp of 1-day duration [Figure 1] a. [ijtrichology.com]
The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and histological examination. However, biopsies were only taken from 18 of the 30 cases. [medscape.com]
Here we report a 57-year-old woman, who presented with sudden diffuse non-scarring hair loss on the scalp. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of AA. [lifescienceglobal.com]
We examined 9 female patients who presented with acute, diffuse and total hair loss of the scalp and took a similar clinical course with a favorable prognosis. OBJECTIVE: To categorize such cases as a new subgroup of diffuse alopecia. [read.qxmd.com]
Workup
Blood tests Laboratory workup should be performed to identify treatable causes. [dermnetnz.org]
[…] least 1 day before the pull test pull test helps to assess severity and location of hair loss Laboratory investigations in alopecia: ferritin TFTs in women with AGA and such virilizing signs as hirsutism, acne, or irregular menses, an endocrinologic workup [gpnotebook.com]
In some cases, further workup is required. [mdedge.com]
If any associations are identified, workup for a syndromic cause should be performed and genetic counseling may be appropriate depending on the diagnosis ( 96 ). For many of these conditions, there is currently no effective treatment. [frontiersin.org]
Treatment
The hair loss patients undergoing treatment in our herbal treatment centre are continuously monitored to observe hair recovery pattern. [alopeciaherbaltreatment.com]
Usually within three months growth can be seen but correct treatment will encourage re-growth quicker. [hovehairclinic.co.uk]
Conservative diffuse alopecia treatment with LLLT Also, in combination with conservative treatment, LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) can be used. [advancedhairclinics.de]
Even when treatment induces an increase in hair growth, hair loss may recur when treatment is stopped [1]. [dermnetnz.org]
At the same time, the possible existence of an underlying disease is examined and it is controlled with proper treatment. There is no specific medication for the treatment of diffuse alopecia. [advancedhairclinics.gr]
Prognosis
It is also fascinating to me that acute diffuse hair loss has a good prognosis, while other subtypes of AA have a bad prognosis. So, the type of AA tells you something about the prognosis. [medscape.com]
It has a favorable prognosis. [3] Herein, we report a case of ADTA in a 42-year-old Indian female who presented with diffuse hair loss of 80%, over the scalp of only 1-day duration. [ijtrichology.com]
We examined 9 female patients who presented with acute, diffuse and total hair loss of the scalp and took a similar clinical course with a favorable prognosis. OBJECTIVE: To categorize such cases as a new subgroup of diffuse alopecia. [read.qxmd.com]
The treatment and prognosis of diffuse alopecia depend on the underlying cause. [dermnetnz.org]
In addition, unlike other subtypes of AA, diffuse AA usually has a shorter disease course and a better prognosis. Therefore, hypersensitivity should be taken in consideration in the pathogenesis of diffuse AA. [ijdvl.com]
Etiology
The prognosis is variable and depends on the etiology and severity of hair loss. [amboss.com]
So, we decided to assess the clinical and etiological profile of women presenting with diffuse hair loss. [idoj.in]
Approach to common etiologies of hair loss in children and adolescents. Table 1. Important clinical findings of alopecias to aid in diagnosis. [frontiersin.org]
Hair loss due to noninfectious etiology was found in 121 (40.33%) cases, (57 females, 64 males). Hair loss was due to acquired causes in 287 (95.56%) patients and due to congenital causes in 13 (4.33%) patients. [e-ijd.org]
Epidemiology
Although the various reported associations of AA with infectious agents have remained controversial and need to be confirmed by epidemiological studies, it remains conceivable that the antigenic stimulus provided by co-morbid infections may entertain [ijtrichology.com]
Epidemiology Most common type of alopecia Prevalence : Increases with age Sex: (but very common in women as well) Age at onset: puberty in males; menopause in females Ethnicity: more common in white populations Etiology Increased androgen sensitivity [amboss.com]
Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the epidemiology and clinical pattern of scalp hair loss in children (0–18 years age group). [e-ijd.org]

Although PHL and AA represent very different pathophysiologic processes, they both cause varying degrees of follicular miniaturization. [docksci.com]
Learning objectives Reading this article should enable readers to understand the normal physiology and pathophysiology of hair growth, know the most common and cosmetically most disturbing types of increased hair loss and alopecia, and carry out the indicated [aerzteblatt.de]
Prevention
High dose methylprednisolone therapy appears to be effective in patients with rapidly progressing acute diffuse alopecia areata to prevent the progression of the disease. [koreamed.org]
This severe problem warrants more attention and research into the options for prevention and/or treatment. [nature.com]
Most of the causes of hair loss in the pediatric age group are treatable and preventable. Therefore, early diagnosis is crucial for proper management to prevent further hair loss and complications including scarring alopecia. [e-ijd.org]
That’s why preventing it isn’t yet possible. [healthline.com]
How can hair loss be prevented? Unfortunately, there is no cure for hair loss. However, your hair care routine can play a significant role. [revalid.com]
