Article Synopsis
- - The number of patients experiencing acute telogen effluvium (ATE), a type of hair loss, has risen significantly, potentially linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- - The likely cause of this hair loss is the excessive release of proinflammatory cytokines during SARS-CoV-2 infection, which can damage hair matrix cells.
- - Although there is no specific treatment for post-COVID TE, reducing stress and managing complications can help improve hair recovery over time.
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a rare chronic autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes, usually beginning in adulthood. EBA is induced by autoantibodies to type VII collagen, a major component of anchoring fibrils in the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). The binding of autoantibodies to type-VII collagen subsequently leads to the detachment of the epidermis and the formation of mucocutaneous blisters.
