Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disease, that causes progressive loss of melanocytes, resulting in hypopigmented skin patches. Current treatments aim at stopping the disease progression and achieving repigmentation of the amelanotic areas. Corticosteroids, surgery, topical immunomodulators, total depigmentation of normal pigmented skin and phototherapy are current treatment options for vitiligo although phototherapy remains the treatment of choice. There is no documented evidence that herbal bio-active products may also be effective treatment options for vitiligo. AIM: Thi

Abstract:

The prevalence of vitiligo is between 0.5% and 1% in the population, the most common acquired depigmentation disorder. Hypopigmented macules are formed as a result of melanocyte death. Its etiology is still not fully elucidated, it is a multifactorial disease. Polygenic type genetic susceptibility is supported by familial accumulation (15- 30%). The complex interaction of non-immunological and immunological factors is key during the development of the disease. Due to intensive research in recent years, it has become clear that cells other than melanocytes, such as keratinocytes, fibroblasts, n

Abstract:

Vitiligo is a relatively common, acquired hypopigmentary disorder caused by the loss of epidermal melanocytes. It is characterized by asymptomatic, well-circumscribed round to oval-shaped whitish patches that vary in size. Depending on various clinical features, vitiligo is classified into several types, that is, non-segmental, segmental, and undetermined/unclassified vitiligo. The uniform classification of vitiligo is very important in predicting its clinical course and prognosis and communication among researchers. In particular, segmental vitiligo is a highly distinctive subtype of vitiligo

Abstract:

Vitiligo is a disorder of skin pigmentation. It affects approximately 1% of the world’s population. Vitiligo occurs equally between the sexes with no racial predilections. The majority of cases are acquired and arise between the second and third decades of life. Acquired vitiligo has an unpredictable clinical course. Congenital vitiligo is rare with few reported cases. Due to the rarity of congenital vitiligo, little is known about the clinical course. For patients with acquired or congenital vitiligo, the psychosocial burden can have a profound impact on quality of life. The unknown course of

Vitiligo, a common depigmenting skin disorder, has an estimated prevalence of 0.5–2% of the population worldwide. The disease is characterized by the selective loss of melanocytes which results in typical nonscaly, chalky-white macules. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the pathogenesis of vitiligo which is now clearly classified as an autoimmune disease. Vitiligo is often dismissed as a cosmetic problem, although its effects can be psychologically devastating, often with a considerable burden on daily life.

Abstract:

Vitiligo is a depigmenting disorder characterised by the loss of melanocytes from the cutaneous epidermis. Although the exact aetiology of vitiligo has not yet been established, the abnormal immune responses frequently observed in vitiligo patients have led to the suggestion that, in some cases, the condition has an autoimmune component. Briefly, circulating autoantibodies and autoreactive T cells that recognise pigment cell antigens have been detected in the sera of a significant proportion of vitiligo patients compared with healthy individuals. In addition, vitiligo is often associated with

OBJETIVOS: Traçar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes com vitiligo e estimar a prevalência da associação de vitiligo com doenças autoimunes da tireoide. MÉTODOS: Efetuou-se um estudo transversal, analisando-se prontuários dos pacientes com diagnóstico de vitiligo atendidos no Ambulatório de Dermatologia AME-Unisul e do HU-UFSC. Avaliaram-

Abstract:

Activated CD8+ T cells play important roles in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. However, driving factors about the activation and migration of CD8+ T cells remain obscure. In this study, we aim to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and uncover potential factors that drive the disease in melanocyte-specific CD8+ T cells in vitiligo. A total of 1147 DEGs were found through transcriptome sequencing in CD8+ T cells from lesional skin of vitiligo patients and normal controls. Based on KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and PPI, 16 upregulated and 23 downregulated genes were identified. Ultim

There are numerous studies dedicated to local and global prevalence of depression in patients with vitiligo but anxiety has not been recognized as a major mental problem within named population. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anxiety among patients with vitiligo from different countries and to compare it with patients suffering from eczema, psoriasis, and acne.

New studies are required for a better comprehension of the mechanisms that trigger the disease and for the development of more efficient treatments.

Abstract. Reduced serum 25(OH)D levels have been largely reported in vitiligo, which is an autoimmune skin disorder characterized by the appearance of achromic macules. Since vitamin D can positively modulate immune function and stimulate melanogenesis in vitro, a possible role of sufficient vitamin D levels in promoting the stability of the disease and repigmentation process might be hypothesized in vitiligo. Hence, we conducted an observational study on medical records related to 101 vitiligo patients, in order to correlate baseline 25(OH)D levels with the baseline vitiligo activity and repi
