最近,醫(yī)生在部分新冠肺炎患者中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種令人意外的新癥狀:脫發(fā)。
哈肯薩克大學(xué)醫(yī)療中心(Hackensack University Medical Center)發(fā)布的報告稱,許多人在感染病毒并且初步癥狀康復(fù)后出現(xiàn)了嚴(yán)重脫發(fā)。該中心稱其治療的新冠檢測呈陽性的患者數(shù)量,超過了新澤西州的其他醫(yī)療體系。
皮膚病學(xué)家亞歷克西斯·揚在這份報告所附的聲明中表示,患者通常會在感染后的幾周至三個月內(nèi)開始出現(xiàn)脫發(fā)。脫發(fā)通常會持續(xù)六至九個月,但個人狀況可能有巨大差異。長期患者出現(xiàn)脫發(fā)的情況尤其普遍。
曾經(jīng)在哈肯薩克大學(xué)醫(yī)療中心接受治療的患者寶拉·迪亞茲在研究中表示,她曾經(jīng)有一頭濃密的頭發(fā)。她說:“我因為感染新冠病毒而在醫(yī)院治療了六天,在出院回家的幾周后開始大量脫發(fā)。這令我非常震驚?!?/p>
亞歷克西斯·揚解釋說,出現(xiàn)脫發(fā)的原因是“人體出現(xiàn)過度活躍的炎癥。炎癥可能導(dǎo)致毛發(fā)生長周期出現(xiàn)變化?!?/p>
新冠病毒造成了越來越多出人意料的影響,脫發(fā)是最新被發(fā)現(xiàn)的一種癥狀。今年1月早些時候,妙佑醫(yī)療國際(Mayo Clinic)的醫(yī)生發(fā)現(xiàn),奧密克戎變異毒株感染者出現(xiàn)了盜汗癥狀。
該醫(yī)院表示,在因為新冠病毒而住院的患者中,22%的患者出院后幾個月出現(xiàn)脫發(fā)。2021年夏天,英國毛發(fā)學(xué)家協(xié)會(U.K.’ s Institute of Trichologists)有79%的會員表示,在門診中看到過“新冠后脫發(fā)”的病例。
壓力是造成脫發(fā)的核心問題,而且這不只是新冠病毒導(dǎo)致的特有現(xiàn)象。
亞歷克西斯·揚稱:“在壓力狀況下脫發(fā)很常見。人們可能在分娩或大手術(shù)之后出現(xiàn)脫發(fā),現(xiàn)在我們看到部分新冠感染者也出現(xiàn)了同樣的狀況?!?/p>
得克薩斯州的皮膚病學(xué)家也曾經(jīng)見過新冠后休止期脫發(fā)的癥狀,并表示患者的毛發(fā)生長周期會在一年半以內(nèi)重新恢復(fù)。
與此同時,出現(xiàn)脫發(fā)的患者可以嘗試增加攝入維生素,管理壓力和飲食,以控制脫發(fā)。(財富中文網(wǎng))

Doctors are identifying a new symptom among some COVID-19 patients that might be startling: hair loss.
Hackensack University Medical Center, which says it treats more COVID-positive patients than any other health system in New Jersey, has issued a report saying many people have experienced excessive hair loss after contracting the virus and recovering from primary symptoms.
Hair loss typically begins several weeks to three months post-infection, said dermatologist Alexis Young in a statement with the published study. And it typically lasts six to nine months, though that can vary among individuals. Hair loss is especially prevalent among long-haul patients.
“I spent six days in the hospital being treated for the virus, and several weeks after I came home, my hair started falling out in clumps,” said Paula Diaz, a former patient at HUMC, who noted in the study that she has always had a thick head of hair. “It was devastating.”
The hair loss occurs “because of overactive inflammation in the body," Young explained. “The inflammation can cause a shift in the hair cycle.”
Hair loss is the latest symptom in a growing list of unexpected COVID effects. Earlier January, doctors at the Mayo Clinic noted patients with the Omicron variant suffered from night sweats.
The hospital notes that among patients who had been hospitalized with COVID, 22% were dealing with hair loss months after being discharged. Last summer, 79% of the members of the U.K.’s Institute of Trichologists said they had seen cases of “post-COVD hair loss” in their clinics.
Stress is at the heart of the issue—and it’s not just a COVID phenomenon.
“Hair loss after a stressful situation is not unusual,” Young noted. “People can experience hair loss after childbirth or a major surgery, and we’re now seeing the same results after COVID-19 infection in some people.”
Dermatologists in Texas have seen the post-COVID symptom, formally known as telogen effluvium, as well and say the hair growth cycle should reset within a year and a half.
In the meantime, patients who are experiencing post-COVID hair loss can increase their vitamin uptake and manage their stress and diet to try to control the condition.
