Alopecia Areata After Vaccination: Recurrence with Rechallenge

Chien-Ho Chu et al. Pediatr Dermatol. 2016 May.

Abstract

Alopecia areata (AA) is the most common form of hair loss in children. We report the case of a child who had two episodes of AA after two different vaccines with complete hair regrowth between the episodes. This case supports the concept that vaccination might be a trigger for the development of AA in genetically predisposed children.
