    Guiying Qiu, Xinrong Chen

    A case study reports a child developing alopecia areata (AA), an autoimmune disorder causing non-scarring hair loss, following the fifth dose of a rabies vaccine. The study suggests that the rabies vaccine may predispose individuals to AA by causing immune dysregulation, highlighting a potential unreported adverse effect of the vaccine.
