摘要
Background: The association of alopecia areata (AA) with nuchal nevus flammeus (NNF) has been demonstrated by previous studies. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether AA is associated with NNF. Methods: 199 AA patients and 215 controls without AA were examined for the presence of NNF. Results: 35 patients (17.6%) in the AA group had NNF. In the control group, 20 patients (9.3%) had NNF (odds ratio =2.08, 95% confidence interval 1.43-2.73; p = 0.013). A statistically significant association was found between the presence of NNF and duration of the AA (p < 0.001). The presence of NNF was associated with severity of AA (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of our study suggest a link between NNF and AA especially in severer and more chronic forms. Copyright (c) 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel
