Abstract
|
|
|
Diffuse alopecia areata is the least common clinical type of alopecia, and this diffuse form lacks the characteristic
hairless patches of alopecia and it begins as diffuse hair loss. Diffuse alopecia areata has been poorly characterized.
In 2002, there was a suggestion to define this form of alopecia areata as acute, diffuse and total alopecia of the
female scalp (ADTAFS). ADTAFS is characterized by a marked female predominance, tissue eosinophilia and a
uniquely short clinical course. We report here on one case of ADTAFS.
