Drug-induced alopecia is a known clinical entity and mainly seen with anti-mitotic drug therapy. Alopecia during anti-tuberculosis therapy is very uncommon and previously observed with isoniazid, thiacetazone, and ethionamide. Present communication describes an additional case of isoniazid-induced alopecia in a 10-year-old male child, which was reversible after isoniazid withdrawal. Possible mechanisms of drug-induced alopecia are also briefly discussed.
药物性脱发是一种已知的临床病症,主要见于抗有丝分裂药物治疗。抗结核治疗期间的脱发非常罕见,之前曾观察到异烟肼、硫乙酰胺和乙硫异烟胺可导致脱发。本文报道了一例10岁男性儿童因异烟肼导致脱发的病例,停用异烟肼后脱发情况可逆。文中还简要讨论了药物性脱发的可能机制。
