Abstract

Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is hypothesized to be an organ-specific autoimmune disease mediated by T cells directed to the hair follicle. Despite numerous studies related to individual disease associations in AA, there is paucity of literature regarding comprehensive studies on concomitant cutaneous and systemic diseases. Hence there is need for better understanding of the disease. This study is intended to determine the prevalence, clinical and histopathological study of the disease.
