Mostly, a single 3\u2010day administration of corticosteroid (methylprednisolone 500 mg\/day) has been performed in Japan; however, to what extent additional administrations improve the outcome has not been fully elucidated.

Detailed chronological analysis was conducted in eight cases (one man and seven women; average age, 38.3 \u00b1 10.4 years) demonstrating total scalp hair loss 3 months after the first pulse therapy and treated with additional rounds of the pulse therapy. All cases manifested total hair loss, scalp edema, itch or pain on the scalp after the initial intervention. Histopathological analyses of affected lesions prior to additional pulse therapies revealed persisting dense perifollicular lymphocytic inflammation in all cases. Interestingly, such inflammatory change tended to be severer when compared with previously reported pulse therapy good responders. Extra pulse therapy resulted in partial regrowth of terminal hairs in three out of eight cases, but all of them experienced relapse in the long run. The literature review also suggested limited efficacy of repeating pulse therapy to severe\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AA<\/jats:styled-content>\n                    cases.
