| English abstract | A Covid-19, doença causadora de síndrome gripal e insuficiência respiratória aguda, vem demonstrando provocar danos a diversos outros órgãos e sistemas. Várias manifestações dermatológicas já foram descritas. Relatamos um quadro de alopecia areata (AA) desencadeada possivelmente pela Covid-19 em paciente que, apesar de ter seu RT-PCR para SARS-CoV-2 negativo, apresentou IgM reagente e sintomatologia clássica relacionada à doença. Acreditamos que a Covid-19 possa ter desencadeado resposta imunológica autoimune, com a consequente produção de interferons, que levou ao quadro de AA |
| Portuguese abstract | COVID-19, a disease that causes flu-like syndrome and acute respiratory failure, has been shown to cause damage to several other organs and systems. Several dermatological manifestations have been regular. We report a case of Alopecia Areata possibly triggered by COVID-19 in a patient who, despite his negative SARS-COV 2 RT- PCR, presented IgM reactor, in addition to classic symptoms related to the disease. We believe that a COVID-19 can trigger the autoimmune immune response with the consequent production of interferons that led to Alopecia areata |
