Abstract
2-3 months after a stressor, such as stress, medications, trauma, endocrine disorders, nutritional deficiencies, event feverish conditions, telogen effluvium (TE) is characterised by diffuse hair loss. Zinc is an essential cofactor for more than 300 hair follicle enzymes with crucial physiological roles. The purpose of this research was to determine the zinc concentration in the serum of TE patients. This was a case-control study with 25 patients with TE (Group A) and 20 persons of the same age and gender who seemed to be healthy (Group B). Zinc levels in the Serum of all participants were evaluated. Comparing the sick group to the control group, serum zinc levels were insignificant.
Telogen effluvium (TE) is one of the most prevalent types of hair loss, often affecting less than fifty percent of hair with diffuse, non-scarring club hair loss. In the majority of instances, its pathomechanism is defined by an aberrant shift in follicular cycling with distributed synchronisation of hair follicles in the telogen phase, leading to a worldwide rise in the number of hair follicles susceptible to falling out. Sometimes hair loss is severe, accompanied by obvious thinning
