title: [Antimelanin antibodies in vitiligo].
abstract: The circunlant antimelanin antibodies are studied in common or idiopathic vetiligo. The patients did not have other skin or systemic lesions. The results show the presence antimelanin antibodies in a very significant fashion. Based on these elements, the authors consider that this observation is very important and that in this disease the autoimmune mechanisms have a fundamental character. In vitiligo as in every autoimmune disease, the etiology can be multiple.
