Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic inflammatory disease distinguished by non-scarring alopecia. The latest evidence suggests it is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease that manifests in genetically susceptible individuals. In contrast to adult-onset AA, clinical traits and treatment of pediatric AA have been investigated very little. We hereby report a pediatric case of recalcitrant AA treated with a 308 nm excimer lamp and topical tofacitinib 2% gel.
斑秃(AA)是一种以非瘢痕性脱发为特征的慢性炎症性疾病。最新证据表明,它是一种T细胞介导的自身免疫性疾病,在遗传易感性个体中表现出来。与成人斑秃相比,儿童斑秃的临床特征和治疗方法很少被研究。我们在此报告一例用308纳米准分子灯和2%托法替布凝胶局部治疗的儿童顽固性斑秃病例。
