RESUMO
Resumo A alopecia areata (AA) é uma doença autoimune que se desenvolve no couro cabeludo ou em outras partes do corpo. A alopecia universal, que é uma forma rara de alopecia areata, é caracterizada pela perda de pelos que afeta todo o corpo. Nos dois pacientes apresentados, o tratamento com atorvastatina foi iniciado com o diagnóstico de hipercolesterolemia, mas, quando as metas de valores não foram alcançadas, foi iniciado o tratamento com uma combinação de sinvastatina e ezetimiba. Depois de um período de tratamento com sinvastatina e ezetimiba, o distúrbio de AA, o qual começou com a perda de cabelo no couro cabeludo, espalhou pelo corpo todo e se transformou em alopecia universal. Embora as estatinas possam causar alopecia com reações autoimunes, elas geralmente são utilizadas no tratamento da alopecia, por seus efeitos imunomoduladores.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease that grows in the scalp or in other parts of the body. Alopecia universalis, which is a rare form of alopecia areata, is characterized by a loss of hair that affects the entire body. In the two patients presented in this study, atorvastatin treatment was implemented, with the diagnosis of hypercholesterolemia; however, when the target values were not reached, a combination of simvastatin and ezetimibe was implemented. After a period of simvastatin/ezetimibe treatment, the AA disorder, which began with hair loss on the scalp, spread to the entire body and turned into Alopecia Universalis. Although statins can cause alopecia with autoimmune reactions, they are generally used in the treatment of alopecia due to their immunomodulatory effects.
