Azathioprine is commonly used as immunosuppressive therapy for various inflammatory diseases including chronic glomerulonephritis. Myelosuppression is a common side effect of azathioprine, resulting in the need for dose reduction. However, severe pancytopenia or alopecia is not often encountered. Here, we report a case of severe myelosuppression, and alopecia totalis that occurred after azathioprine treatment in a patient with IgA nephropathy. A 10-year-old boy with IgA nephropathy was treated with oral deflazacort and later with azathioprine. After 4 weeks, the patient complained of hair loss, and despite a dose reduction in azathioprine, he developed bone marrow suppression and alopecia totalis in two weeks. The blood indices and alopecia of the patient had returned to normal after azathioprine withdrawal and 3 consecutive doses of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. We suggest that physicians remain vigilant to the side effects of azathioprine. Unusual hair loss after azathioprine treatment might suggest a defect in the metabolism of the drug, warranting the discontinuation of azathioprine to prevent more severe side effects.

총 32 명의 남성형 및 여성형 탈모 환자를 대상으로 24주 동안 이중 맹검 위약 비교 임상 시험을 시행한 결과 고려 홍삼 분말을 복용한 치료군이 대조군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 모발의 밀도와 굵기가 증가하는 것을 객관적으로 확인할 수 있었으며 환자 만족도 평가에서도 역시 치료군이 대조군 보다 높은 만족도를 보였다. 따라서 고려 홍삼의 복용이 임상적으로 탈모증 개선에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

이 증례 보고는 치조성II급 1류 부정교합의 해결을 위한 통상적 교정치료 중 탈모를 보인 청소년기 환자에 대한 것이다. 22개월 간 지속된 교정치료의 결과는 성공적이었다. 그러나 치료 시작 8개월 후 환자는 완전탈모현상을 보였다. 환자에 대한 포괄적인 의학적 검사와 감별진단은 교정치료에 의하여 유발된 심리적 스트레스로 그 원인을 결론지었다. 다수 선학들의 보고에서 심리적 스트레스는 면역체계에 영향을 줌으로써 탈모를 유발할 수 있다고 지적하고 있다. 따라서 이 증례의 경우 면역체계에 대한 스트레스의 결과 두피 모낭 주위의 조직에 대한 자동면역질환과 유사한 상태가 초래됨으로써 탈모가 발생한 것으로 추정함이 타당할 것으로 생각된다. 환자의 탈모는 비타민 D의 경구 및 경피적 투여로 완전 치유되었다. 이러한 증례는 면역체계야 말로 치아주위조직의 개조를 위한 중추적 역할을 담당하며, 면역체계에 영향을 줄 수 있는 어떠한 상태도 교정치료시 탈모의 발생 등과 같은 예기치 않은 결과를 초래할 수 있음을 시사한다.
