Vitiligo is the loss of skin pigmentation caused by autoimmune destruction of melanocytes. Little is known about the impact of psychological stressors preceding vitiligo onset on symptoms associated with vitiligo and the extent of disease. We performed a questionnaire-based study of 1541 adults with vitiligo to evaluate the impact of psychological stressors in this patient population. Psychological stressors should be considered as potential disease triggers in vitiligo patients, and screening of vitiligo patients for psychological stressors and associated symptoms should be included in routine assessment.
白癜风是由黑素细胞的自身免疫性破坏引起的皮肤色素脱失。对于白癜风发病前的心理应激源对白癜风相关症状及疾病程度的影响知之甚少。我们对1541名成年白癜风患者进行了一项基于问卷的研究，以评估心理应激源对该患者群体的影响。心理应激源应被视为白癜风患者潜在的疾病触发因素，并且在常规评估中应包括对白癜风患者心理应激源及相关症状的筛查。
