Abstract
Although alopecia areata (AA) has been traditionally classified as a strictly T helper type 1-mediated process, the T helper type 2 (Th2) pathway may contribute to an AA-like phenotype in some individuals. Herein, we describe three clinical cases that support the potential role of Th2 activity through the upregulation of IL-4 and IL-13 in an AA-like phenotype.
