Alopecia in APS type 3

Makino et al. present a case of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) type 3 with a severe form of alopecia areata ( 76 – 99% hair loss). Although recovery from alopecia is rare in APS, they found that following successful control of diabetes, the patient had total hair re-growth within 2-3 months.
