Although hair loss following severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (COVID-19) infection is common, there are no reported cases of textural changes in COVID-19-associated alopecia. Here, we describe a case of diffuse hair loss followed by distinct changes in hair morphology 1 year after symptomatic COVID-19 infection. Clinical findings were most consistent with anagen effluvium. Robust inflammatory response following COVID-19 infection may contribute to changes in hair texture.
尽管严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(COVID-19)感染后脱发很常见,但尚无COVID-19相关性脱发出现质地改变的报道病例。在此,我们描述1例有症状的COVID-19感染1年后出现弥漫性脱发,随后毛发形态发生明显改变的病例。临床发现与生长期脱发最为相符。COVID-19感染后强烈的炎症反应可能导致毛发质地改变。
