In a study of 24 patients with alopecia areata, scalp biopsies were examined for immunofluorescence; all were negative. A number of other tests also failed to confirm an auto-immune aetiology for this disease. A possible explanation lies in the heterogeneity of alopecia areata, only a small proportion of cases being of the auto-immune type.
在一项针对24例斑秃患者的研究中,对头皮活检组织进行了免疫荧光检查;结果均为阴性。许多其他检查也未能证实该疾病的自身免疫病因。一种可能的解释在于斑秃的异质性,只有一小部分病例属于自身免疫类型。
