Notes:
The properties of diphencyprone (DPC), its possible mechanism of action in the therapy of alopecia areata (AA), and its side-effects are summarized. The results of our own study of treatment in 45 patients with AA, with a mean treatment duration of 72 (15–146) weeks, are presented, and compared with the results of previous studies. We suggest that, in future, therapy protocols should define entry criteria and therapy results more precisely, and include follow-up assessments to establish the length of remission. In view of the low response rates and short lengths of remission, the indications for DPC therapy should be set more rigorously.
