The destruction of melanocytes is the cause of depigmented maculae that clinically represent the disease vitiligo. Although the cause is unknown, various theories such as the autoimmune, autocytotoxic, and neural hypotheses have been proposed. Extensive research has provided numerous answers regarding the pathogenesis, histopathologic evidence, and ...

Cockade-like vitiligo and linear vitiligo
Archives of Dermatological Research, 1978The authors report 2 cases of atypical vitiligo in which they observed 1) "cockade-like" lesions resembling those of "trichrome" vitiligo (from the centre to the periphery, achromic area, hypochromic ring, normal or hyperchromic border), 2) numerous linear achromic lesions corresponding to former excoriations (Koebner's phenomenon, isomorphic ...

Immunopathogenesis of Vitiligo
Autoimmunity Reviews, 2011Vitiligo is a common depigmenting disorder which may have devastating psychological and social consequences and is characterized by the presence of circumscribed white macules in the skin due to the destruction of melanocytes in the epidermis. Various hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pathomechanisms involved in this disease, and studies ...

Vitiligo is an acquired dyschromia of the skin in which there is a loss of epidermal melanocytes. The prevalence of vitiligo is approximately 1% in the United States and 0.1-2% worldwide. The exact pathogenesis of vitiligo remains elusive and is likely multifactorial. After completing this update, participants should be able to discuss the epidemiology

Vitiligo represents a selective destruction of the melanocytes. It is a relatively common, probably autoimmune disorder that affects people of all backgrounds and both genders. No particular group seems to be preferentially affected. Half of vitiligo patients have an onset before the age of 18 years.

AbstractIn our study the relative incidence of vitiligo among new patients was 2.6%. Twenty percent were children and 74% were adults. Of the 90 children, 38.9% were boys, and 61.1% were girls. This sex difference was statistically highly significant. The adult sex‐ratio was not statistically significant. The relative incidence of the clinical subtypes

TRIMETHOXYPSORALEN IN VITILIGO
International Journal of Dermatology, 1976ABSTRACT: The treatment of vitiligo has been unsatisfactory. Introduction of systemic furocoumarins to treatment regimens has given very promising results. Trimethylpsoralen has been found to be more potent than 8‐melhoxypsoralen. In cases studied, ultraviolet irradiation of affected sites following topical application of trimethylpsoralen was found ...

Vitiligo is a disease of pigment loss. Most investigators currently consider vitiligo to be a disorder that occurs as a result of autoimmune destruction of melanocytes, supported by identification of antimelanocyte antibodies in many patients, and the presence of comorbid autoimmune disease in patients with and family members of individuals with ...
