Abstract

A female aged 64 reported sudden whitening of the hair. Analysis proved it to be alopecia areata. Rarely, alopecia areata is of diffuse onset. If in such a case it is mostly the pigmented hairs that are lost the impression can be made of a person with grey hair turning white overnight. A review is given of some historical cases which may have been caused by this phenomenon.
