Abstract

It has been much disputed whether or not stress can cause hair loss (telogen effluvium) in a clinically relevant manner. Despite the paramount psychosocial importance of hair in human society, this central, yet enigmatic and controversial problem of clinically applied stress research has not been systematically studied in appropriate animal models. We now show that psychoemotional stress indeed alters actual hair follicle (HF) cycling in vivo, ie, prematurely terminates the normal duration of active hair growth (anagen) in mice.

Therefore, direct evidence of chronic infection is not easily attainable by standard laboratory tests, even though it has long been suspected as playing a role in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), in conjunction with Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) the virus that causes mononucleosis.
