ABSTRACT
Background:
The well known clinical feature of the classic acute telogen effluvium is diffuse hair loss from all over the scalp and the diagnosis is confirmed by a trichogram showing an increased telogen count. While the telogen hair shedding continues, newly cycled back young anagen hairs develop in the involved scalp.Objective:
To see if there is a regional difference in the numbers of the involved hair follicles in that seemingly diffuse hair loss.Methods:
In 7 cases of the telogen effluvium, the telogen count was done at two sites, anterior parietal and occipital. During the count, the short tapered anagen hairs(<1cm) which developed during the course of the telogen effluvium were counted together and compared according to the regions.Results:
The sum of the short anagen hairs and the telogen hairs was 50.3% in anterior parietal area, whereas it was 31.6% in occipital area(p<0.0l).Conclusion:
Hair follicles in anterior scalp appear to be more vulnerable than occipital scalp in the acute telogen effluvium.
