Increased Prevalence of Antinuclear Antibody Positivity in Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia Patients
CCCA patients had higher prevalence of ANA positivity and SLE, supporting potential autoimmune involvement. However, screening for other autoimmune diseases in asymptomatic CCCA patients may not be necessary. Further research is needed to clarify the interplay between autoimmune and metabolic pathways in CCCA.
