Clinical Case of Tofacitinib Therapy in Autoimmune Alopecia in Patient with Ulcerative Colitis.

This article presents the clinical case of a patient with a long history of ulcerative colitis. Seven years after the onset of the disease, other autoimmune disorders such as sacroiliitis and alopecia have manifested. Ulcerative colitis is characterized by severe exacerbations, development of steroid resistance, ineffectiveness of mesalazine therapy, and onset of leukopenia when taking azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine. Janus kinase inhibitor (tofacitinib) administration leads to remission of the disease, reduced activity of ulcerative colitis and sacroiliitis, and a resumption of hair growth was also observed.
