Abstract

Background and Aim: ALOPECIA AREATA is a non-scarring hair disorder. TRACE ELEMENTs imbalance (like ZINC) has been reported as its triggering factor. In this study we compared serum ZINC level in ALOPECIA AREATA patients with normal values.Methods: Twenty-three female and 19 male patients with ALOPECIA AREATA were recruited and their serum ZINC levels were assessed using absorption spectrometery. Chi squared t and ANOVA tests were used for statistical analysis.Results: Sixteen patients with more extensive and prolonged disease, had serum ZINC level lower than normal (70 mg/dL).The means of serum ZINC levels in patients and normal population were 81.88 mg/dL and 83.5 mg/dL, respectively.This difference was not significant (P=0.668). The means of serum ZINC level in different types of ALOPECIA AREATA were not significantly different (P>0.05). There was an association between serum ZINC level and disease duration (P=0.022).Conclusion: Patients with more severe forms of ALOPECIA AREATA had lower serum ZINC level than other forms of the disease.
