- Abstract
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder causing an acute patchy hair loss characterised by non-scaring, well-demarcated bald areas of various size. Even though it is not a life threatening disease, it is a condition which has an impact on daily-living of the patient and represent strong psychological distress. Ethiology of alopecia areata is not completely understood, but genetic, environmental and some concomitant comorbidities can play role in pathogenesis. Therapy of AA is difficult and treatment response is individiual. Nevertheless the spectrum of therapeutical possibilities is relatively extensive. In following text is shortly described the etiopathogenesis of AA, prevention, possibilites and therapeutical options.
