We here report the case of a 42-year-old female patient presenting with alopecia areata that had progressed over the past month. The anamnesis revealed no psychoaffective irritative stimulus or atopy. Clinical examination was normal. The patient weighed 65kg with a BMI of 22kg/m(2). Haemoglobin level was 12.5g/dL. Fasting blood glucose was 1.01g/L, TSHus and T4L were normal; 0.23 pmol/L and 13.32 pmol/L, respectively. Anti-nuclear and Anti-electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) antibodies were negative.
