Vitiligo: Clinical and Laboratory Characteristics in 573 Saudi Patients.

Prevalence of vitiligo was found to be similar to worldwide figures, with a higher proportion having affected family members. Stress as a trigger, lesional pruritus, signs of activity, thyroid disease, and low vitamin D were all common and should be routinely checked. Novel findings include isolated facial involvement, eyelid leukotrichia, and high ESR in active vitiligo.

Abstract

Prevalence of vitiligo was found to be similar to worldwide figures, with a higher proportion having affected family members. Stress as a trigger, lesional pruritus, signs of activity, thyroid disease, and low vitamin D were all common and should be routinely checked.
