Trichoscopic differences between sexes and age groups were observed. This study underscores the importance of individualized, step-by-step, and comprehensive treatment for pediatric AGA, prioritizing hormonal disorders and concurrent conditions while managing hair loss with topical minoxidil. Topical minoxidil generally is well tolerated in pediatric patients, although close monitoring of adverse effects and timely feedback to the clinician still are necessary. More importantly, encouraging patients to adhere to their medication and attend regular follow-up appointments can yield favorable outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":11195,"journal":{"name":"Cutis","volume":"114 6","pages":"191-195"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143064414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once they penetrate blood vessels, the hookworms localize in the lungs where they produce an eosinophilic pneumonitis, then they are swallowed with sputum and localize in the gastrointestinal tract in their adult form, with resulting symptoms of iron deficiency. Zoonotic hookworms such as Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense, and Uncinaria stenocephala can infest pets such as dogs and cats but also can erroneously penetrate the skin when a human comes into contact with soil contaminated with larval hookworms.
