Abstract
- A 33-year-old woman began to have diffuse hair loss with the onset of pregnancy, and it rapidly developed into alopecia universalis within 2 months af a mid-trimester termination at 20 weeks of gestation. Two months after completion of the depilation, white terminal hair started to regrow and repigmentation began after another 2 months. The hair loss was aggravated immediately after the termination and the regrowing pattern coincided with that of alopecia areata.
