Alopecia areata und Erkrankungen der Thyreoidea

Abstract
The functional state of the thyroid gland was in 47 patients with Alopecia areata (AA) determined (20 males, 27 females). In all cases the scintigraphy of the thyroid gland and T2 was performed. 46 patients were euthyroid, one female hypothyroid. In further clinically investigated 56 patients with A. A. (24 males, 32 females) the authors did not found any case of struma, or symptoms of hypo- and hyperthyroidism. The opinion of the authors is, that it is very doubtful if a causal relationsship between A. a. and diseases of the thyroid gland exists.
