About this book
This book reviews the diagnostic and management options for patients with alopecia, allowing a greater understanding of a diverse number of differential diagnoses. This can help challenge students, residents and re-certifying physicians to consider a broad array of diagnoses based on the case presentation. Each case will be followed with a discussion and treatment content that will help provide the most up to date information available on the current disease as well as advances in treatment at that time. This will allow for a balance of both constructive case-based learning and an up-to-date coalition of the current literature.
Clinical Cases in Alopecia illustrates clinical features and discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic process of both common and unusual conditions. It provides a practical case-based guide in the management of patients with alopecia and is ideal for recertifying dermatologists, training residents, medical students and practitioners in fields of primary care.Editors and Affiliations

Suchita Sampath is a third-year medical student currently studying at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. She received her Bachelor of Science with Research Distinction in Molecular Genetics with an additional major in German and minors in Biology and Music from The Ohio State University. Suchita went on to earn her Master of Science in Human Biology from the University of Zurich in Switzerland where her thesis focused on the GABAergic postsynaptic changes that occur after ischemic stroke. She continued to work on this project for an additional two years with current results indicating that blocking post translational modifications of a GABA-receptor anchoring protein not only prevents synapse loss but also reduces infarct volume after ischemia. After contributing to the ischemia project, Suchita returned to Ohio to work as a medical assistant in an outpatient dermatology clinic for two years. This experience sparked her interest in dermatology and spurred her on to joining Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine in the hopes of pursuing a residency in dermatology.
