Influence of Dysbiosis on Scalp Diseases

Keywords: Alopecia, Dysbiosis, Gastrointestinal Microbiome, Microbiota, Scalp Dermatoses

Abstract

Nos últimos anos vários estudos demonstraram a implicação da microbiota intestinal em várias doenças de mediação imune como a diabetes, a colite ulcerosa e a esclerose múltipla. Existem poucos dados sobre o microbioma folicular e o seu papel na patogénese de doenças que afetam o couro cabeludo, sendo uma área de investigação crescente. Alguns estudos mostram influência da disbiose nestas doenças, podendo a manipulação do microbioma representar uma possível opção terapêutica. Este artigo procura rever o conhecimento atual relativo ao impacto da disbiose nas doenças dermatológicas do couro cabeludo, como dermatite seborreica, psoríase, alopécia areata, alopécia androgenética, líquen plano pilar, alopécia fibrosante frontal e foliculite decalvante. Uma compreensão alargada deste tema poderá sugerir tratamentos adicionais além das terapêuticas convencionais.
