Alopecia, a frequently reported problem, severely impacts the quality of life of patients and is often associated with loss of confidence and low self-esteem. Several conditions such as telogen effluvium (TE), anagen effluvium, diffuse type of alopecia areata, female pattern hair loss, hair shaft abnormalities, loose anagen hair syndrome, and congenital atrichia or hypotrichosis are associated with hair loss. The actual prevalence rate of TE is not reported since most cases are subclinical in nature. Further, since women get more distressed by hair fall and promptly seek treatment, they tend to be over-represented. However, both genders can suffer from this condition if triggering factors are present. This consensus paper was developed by taking into account opinions of renowned experts in the field and is hoped to serve as an evidence-based platform for selecting efficacious and safe therapy for patients with TE. This review presents a synopsis of the key opinions of experts on all aspects of treatment and effective management of this condition.
脱发是一个经常被报道的问题，严重影响患者的生活质量，且常常与信心丧失和自卑相关。多种病症与脱发有关，如休止期脱发（TE）、生长期脱发、弥漫性斑秃、女性型脱发、毛干异常、松动生长期毛发综合征以及先天性无毛症或毛发稀少症。由于大多数TE病例本质上是亚临床的，所以其实际患病率尚无报道。此外，由于女性对脱发更为苦恼并会迅速寻求治疗，她们在患者中所占比例往往过高。然而，如果存在触发因素，男女均可患此病。本共识文件是综合该领域知名专家的意见编写而成，希望能为为TE患者选择有效且安全的治疗方法提供一个循证平台。本综述概述了专家们对该病治疗及有效管理各方面的关键意见。
