Resumen
Introducción: la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) ha impactado a nuestra sociedad en numerosos aspectos. Hasta el mes de noviembre de 2022 se han confirmado alrededor de 640 millones de infecciones por SARS-CoV-2 en el mundo.
Objetivo: conocer y comparar la literatura descrita acerca de la asociación de COVID-19 con el desarrollo de efluvio telógeno (ET).
Material y métodos: se realizó una revisión de la literatura acotada a los reportes de casos y bibliografía descrita del ET agudo asociado al síndrome post-COVID-19. Se muestran diversas aportaciones sobre esta entidad hasta el momento.
Resultados: posterior al análisis de los estudios seleccionados, llevados a cabo en España, Italia, Irak y los EUA, se identificó mayor presencia de efluvio telógeno en pacientes con COVID-19 diagnosticado mediante prueba confirmatoria por PCR, siendo: del sexo femenino, con edades de más de 40 años, con atención ambulatoria y tratamiento tópico.
Conclusiones: el análisis evidencia que los pacientes con COVID-19 están expuestos a múltiples factores predisponentes para el desarrollo del ET; alrededor de 1 de cada 10 pacientes que padecen de ET agudo tuvieron alguna infección subclínica por el virus.
Abstract
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted our society in numerous aspects. As of November 2022, around 640 million SARS-CoV-2 infections have been confirmed worldwide.
Objective: To know and compare the literature described about the association of COVID-19 with the development of telogen effluvium (TE).
Material and methods: A review of the literature limited to case reports and described bibliography of acute TE associated with post-COVID-19 syndrome was carried out. Various contributions on this entity are shown so far.
Results: After the analysis of the selected studies, carried out in Spain, Italy, Iraq and the USA, a greater presence of telogen effluvium was identified in patients with COVID-19 diagnosed by confirmatory PCR test, being mainly female, aged over 40 years, with outpatient care and topical treatment.
Conclusions: The analysis shows that patients with COVID-19 are exposed to multiple predisposing factors for the development of TE; about 1 in 10 patients suffering from acute TE had some subclinical infection by the virus.
