34941 Case report: Hair care routine to treat the telogen effluvium associated with post –COVID-19 infection
Introduction: Telogen effluvium (TE) is characterized by diffuse hair shedding 2-3 months after a stressor, and factors such as hypoxia, inflammation (interleukin 6), medications and need for mechanical ventilation may play a role in the development and severity of TE caused by COVID-19.

Intermittent chronic telogen effluvium with an unusual dermoscopic finding following COVID ‐19
We reported a rare case of high-intensity telogen effluvium episodes following even mild upper respiratory infections in an adolescent, and documented bayonet hair as an unprecedented dermoscopic finding. AbstractVarious conditions, including infections, can cause telogen effluvium (TE). One of them is coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), where hair loss usually begins between 2 and 12  weeks after the illness. TE can be acute or chronic, and the chronic type can be intermittent. Here, we present the case of a 17-year-old girl with severe and widespread hair loss following an upper respiratory infection suspected to be C...

LB1017 A novel link between human hair follicle neuroimmunology and mitochondrial biology: Substance P increases intrafollicular oxidative stress and mitochondrial biogenesis
Substance P (SP) is the prototypic neuropeptide associated with emotional stress and neurogenic perifollicular inflammation and is released by sensory nerve fibers. It also promotes human hair follicle (HF) immune privilege collapse and catagen development ex vivo, and has thus been implicated in stress-related hair loss, ranging from telogen effluvium to alopecia areata. Since SP stimulates the mitochondrial release of reactive oxygen species, we have asked how SP impacts on human HF mitochondrial biology. (Source: Journal of Investigative Dermatology)

732 Treatment with cyclohexyl salicylate, an olfactory receptor 2A4/7 agonist, promotes human hair follicle growth and bulge stem cell progeny expansion
Topically applicable non-drugs that enhance the efficacy of available FDA-licensed drugs would be a welcome therapeutic addition in hair loss management. Since the olfactory receptor (OR) agonist, Sandalore, promotes human hair growth and reduces telogen effluvium, we have explored here whether other cosmetic OR ligands can unfold similar properties. We focused on OR2A4/7, since its stimulation promotes epidermal keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. In situ hybridization showed that OR2A4/7 mRNA is widely expressed in the hair follicle (HF) epithelium, namely the outer root sheath (ORS) and hair matrix (HM). (So...

Characteristics of patients with hair loss after isotretinoin treatment: A retrospective review study
Conclusion: Although the exact mechanism of how retinoids affect hair loss is still unclear, our findings suggest dosage or duration of usage may be associated. This information may be useful in counseling patients who may be concerned about hair loss when considering isotretinoin treatment. (Source: International Journal of Trichology)

Prevalence of telogen effluvium hair loss in COVID-19 patients and its relationship with disease severity
J Med Life. 2022 May;15(5):631-634. doi: 10.25122/jml-2021-0380.ABSTRACTCOVID-19 is a concerning global pandemic. Common manifestations are fever and respiratory symptoms. In addition, recent studies reported dermatological manifestations as extrapulmonary signs. One of these is telogen effluvium which is related to post COVID-19 comorbidities. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of telogen effluvium among COVID-19 patients. This observational cross-sectional study included 198 patients who were admitted for COVID-19. The PCR test was performed to detect positive cases. After discharge, all patients were int...
