Age dependence of diphenylcyclopropenone sensitization in patients with alopecia areata.
Contact sensitization has been an accepted topical immunotherapy in the treatment of alopecia areata (1, 2). Whether the age of patients is a significant factor in the treatment results is a matter of controversy. In our study, we investigated the correlation between age of the patients and diphenylcyclopropen-one contact sensitization in vivo and in vitro (3, 4).
