dc.description.abstractBackground and Design: In this study, our aim was to determine clinical and demographical characteristics of patients with alopecia areata in our region. Materials and Methods: In the study, we evaluated 100 patients (44 female, 56 male; age range: 2-52 years) who applied to the outpatient clinic of Dicle Medical Faculty Dermatology Department between October and November 2009 and received the diagnosis of alopecia areata. Results: The male:female ratio was 1.2:1, the mean age was 19.19 +/- 10.93 years. Alopecia areata was present in 90(90%) patients, alopecia totalis in 5 (5%), and alopecia universalis in 5 (5%) patients. The age of the disease onset was below the age of 20 years in 64% of patients. In 77.2% of patients, mild and in 22.8% of patients, severe scalp involvement was detected. There was no significant relationship of the severity of the disease in the scalp with gender and the disease onset period (p=0.62, p=0.22). Nail involvement was detected in 43%, mostly as pitting (39.5%) and longitudinal ridging (39.5%). No significant relationship was found between disease severity in the scalp and nail involvement (p=0.08). A family history was present in 22% of patients. There was no significant relationship of family history with the onset period of the disease and the disease severity in the scalp (p=0.13, p=0.07). Conclusion: Our results were found to be consistent with the clinical and demographic data obtained in previous studies.en_US
