title: [The histodynamic of alopecia areata in the dependence on the griseofulvin-induced epithelial proliferation (author's transl)].
abstract: The histodynamic of the alopecia areata--without or with the medicamentous induction of the hair growth respectively--was investigated comparatively. 1. Griseofulvin induced an epithelial proliferation in alopecia areata, which is noticeable in the surface epithelium as well as in the follicular epithelium. 2. Under the influence of griseofulvin a deeper penetration of the follicles into the fatty tissue--in connexion with a cutan-subcutaneous volume increase--results; at the same time the supra- and infraseboglandular follicular areas are lengthened. 3. The matter for discussion is that these epithelial changes originate from an increase of metabolic activity or blood supply respectively in the adjacent cutan- and subcutaneous tissue.
