ABSTRACT
We observed a 25-year-old male patient who had developed juvenile rheumatoid arthritis(RA) associated with alopecia areata at 14 years of age. When he received treatment for RA, his symptoms of RA and hair loss improved at approximately the same time. One year later, as the symptoms of RA aggravated, the hair loss had progressed eventually to alopecia universalis(AU). Thus we suggest that RA and AU may be associated with a common immunologic factor in etiology of the two diseases.
