title: [Lithium-associated alopecia].
abstract: A 39-year-old woman who developed alopecia shortly after treatment with lithium carbonate was initiated is described. The alopecia resolved 2 months after lithium was discontinued. Though this side-effect is relatively rare, we suggest that patients getting lithium for short or long term treatment be monitored for it.
