| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Drug-induced alopecia, typically presenting as diffuse, non-scarring hair loss, is often reversible upon discontinuation of the offending medication. Cyclosporine A (CsA), an immunosuppressive agent frequently causing hypertrichosis, has been paradoxically reported to induce alopecia in rare cases. We report a 20-month-old girl with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome who developed severe alopecia due to a mistakenly taken high dose of cyclosporine. Upon discontinuation of cyclosporine, her hair began to regrow within a week. This case underscores the complexity of drug-induced alopecia and highlights the need for further research into the immune dysregulation associated with alopecia areata. | |
