Abstract
Alopecia areata (AA) is a disease with a great impact on quality of life of patients. Among several treatment modalities, intralesional injectable corticosteroid therapy is the first option, with corticosteroid-induced cutaneous atrophy as a common adverse event. We describe a case of plaque AA in the frontal region of the scalp that evolved with cutaneous atrophy induced by the application of intralesional corticosteroids but presented complete and sustained repilation after being treated with 5-Fluorouracil and Bleomycin using the technique of MMP (Microinfusion of Medicines into the Skin).
斑秃(AA)是一种严重影响患者生活质量的疾病。在多种治疗方法中,局部注射皮质类固醇疗法是首选,但皮质类固醇引起的皮肤萎缩是常见的不良反应。我们描述了一例头皮额部的斑块状 AA 病例,该病例在应用皮质类固醇激素治疗后出现了皮肤萎缩,但在使用 5-氟尿嘧啶和博莱霉素(MMP,将药物微量注入皮肤)治疗后,病情得到了完全和持续的控制。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
