Abstract

Alopecia areata (AA) is an immune‐mediated inflammatory disorder that targets anagen phase hair follicles (HFs), leading to nonscarring hair loss.1 Several autoimmune diseases are commonly associated with AA. Herein we describe two cases (Table 1) of patients affected by AA, who have developed after several years multiple sclerosis (MS), which is one of the most frequent autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system.
