Abstract

air disorders represent an important field of research for dermatologists and many of them are common in everyday clinical practice. The most important hair diseases are divided in noncicatricial and cicatricial ones, and they have different clinical, dermoscopic, histological and therapeutic characteristics. Two of the most common causes of noncicatricial diffuse hair loss in females are FPHL and TE. In the current study we aimed to study the clinical, trichoscopic findings, histopathological in patients with acute diffuse hair loss. In addition, immunohistochemistry analysis for CD3 was done for differentiation and detection of the prognostic values of these markers.
