Abstrakt: It also should be pointed out that approximately 1 in 10 patients suffered ATE with a subclinical SARS-CoV-2 infection, and therefore, in the context of the pandemic, past SARS-CoV-2 infection should be considered in every patient consulting for ATE. Collected data from these patients suggest that a symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection is a risk factor for the development of ATE and physicians could warn patients of this possible outcome. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been recently linked to dermatologic manifestations1 and is thought to affect more severely patients with androgenetic alopecia.2 We designed a prospective multicentric study, which enrolled patients from March to August 2020 with acute telogen effluvium (ATE) that had a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed either by serological tests [e.g. detection of serum antibodies against the virus via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs)] or by detection of viral RNA using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
