Insights into the gut microbiome of vitiligo patients from India
Our observations, together with available data, strengthen the role of gut microbiome dysbiosis in symptom exacerbation and possibly pathogenesis in vitiligo. The reported microbiome changes also showed similarities with other autoimmune disorders, suggesting common gut microbiome-mediated mechanisms in autoimmune diseases. Further investigation can lead to the exploration of dietary interventions and probiotics for the management of these conditions.
