This cohort study examines the incidence, prevalence, and risk of alopecia areata after COVID-19.
Background Imidazole propionate (IMP) is a histidine metabolite produced by some gut microorganisms in the human colon. Increased levels of IMP are associated with intestinal inflammation and development progression cardiovascular disease diabetes. However, anti-inflammatory activity has not been investigated. This study aimed to elucidate role treating atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods To understand how mediates immunosuppression AD, was intraperitoneally injected into Dermatophagoides...
Abstract Paraneoplastic pemphigus ( PNP ) is a rare, life‐threatening, autoimmune, mucocutaneous blistering disease associated with neoplasia. Both humoral and cellular immunity are involved in the pathogenesis of . Characteristically, has diverse spectrum clinical immunopathological features. We retrospectively analyzed 12 K orean patients who were diagnosed between 1993 2011. performed analysis features, outcomes, underlying neoplasia, histological features laboratory findings. All except...
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss, and characterized by transformation terminal scalp into vellus hair. The epidemiology AGA not fully understood.

Background: Cutaneous carcinosarcoma is a rare biphasic tumor comprising malignant epithelial and heterologous mesenchymal elements.Data on the clinical histopathologic characteristics of this in Asian populations are not available.The purpose study was to investigate clinicopathologic immunohistochemical features cutaneous Korean population.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records 11 patients with who were diagnosed from 2006 2016.Results: The mean patient age at diagnosis 71.5 years...
Tinea incognito (TI) is a dermatophytic infection of the skin that modified by steroid use. As result, it shows atypical clinical presentations can lead to misdiagnosis. TI occurring on face most frequently misdiagnosed as cutaneous fungal infection, however, very limited information available facial TI. This study aimed characterize clinical, dermoscopic and mycological features We retrospectively evaluated 38 patients with mycologically proven at single institution in Korea between July,...
ABSTRACT The characteristic lesion of alopecia areata is a smooth bald patch on the scalp. When there no surface it called incognita. To date, all cases reported as so‐called ‘incognito’ have shown diffuse involvement scalp in acute telogen effluvium. Recently, we observed two patients who showed localised hair thinning without spots. Histopathologically, lesions were typical with peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrates. response to corticosteroid treatment and its clinical course also compatible areata.
Tinea capitis is an infection of the scalp hair follicles and surrounding skin that primarily occurs in prepubertal children. Microsporum canis remains most common pathogen causing tinea Asian countries, including South Korea, although causative organism this condition varies across geographical regions time periods. Systemic antifungal agents are mainstay treatments for capitis; however, therapeutic responses to drugs may vary depending on species, treatment failure occur owing drug...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) primarily develops in the head and neck region, with 74–83 per cent of BCC occurring this region. Unfortunately, most published studies on were conducted Caucasian populations, analytic data extra-facial Asian Korean patients, particular, are not readily available. Here, we report a retrospective analysis patients. Thirty-five patients (16 men, 19 women) diagnosed at Chonbuk National University Hospital between January 1981 December 2008 evaluated. Their average...

The localized early-stage of Mycosis fungoides (MF) (stage IA-IIA) is usually treated with topical agents, such as nitrogen mustard, steroids, and phototherapy (UVB/PUVA) first line therapy; response to these initial treatments good.However, hyperkeratotic plantar lesions are clinically rare have decreased responsiveness agents.For cases, physicians may consider local radiotherapy.Here, a case an 18-year-old Korean woman who was three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for that were...
