Will the Depigmented Patches Spread? ... Where Can People Get More Information About Vitiligo? What Is Vitiligo? Vitiligo (vit-ill-EYE-go) is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin, the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose and genital and rectal areas), and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball) are destroyed. As a result, white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. The hair that grows in areas affected by vitiligo usually turns white. The cause of vitiligo is not known, but doctors and researchers have several different theories. One theory is that people develop antibodies that destroy the melanocytes in their own bodies. Another theory is that melanocytes destroy themselves. Finally, some people have reported that a single event such as sunburn or emotional distress triggered vitiligo; however, these events have not been scientifically proven to cause vitiligo.

Social Hygiene Handbook - 2nd Edition Vitiligo Dr. R. SU CHAPTER 7 1. Definition An area of acquired cutaneous depigmentation characterized by well-circumscribed milky white macules devoid of identifiable melanocytes. 2. Aetiological Hypothesis Various theories are suggested as the aetiology of vitiligo; the same mechanism may not apply to all cases. Autoimmune Hypothesis Autoimmune destruction of cutaneous melanocytes with total loss of melanocytes and melanin pigment in the skin of the affected area. Lymphocytic infiltration on skin biopsy indicate lymphocytes are involved in the destruction process. Frequently associated with other autoimmune diseases; such as alopecia areata, autoimmune thyroid disorders, Addison¡¦s adrenal disease, atrophic gastritis and pernicious anaemia, diabetes. Serum autoimmune antibodies against melanocyte, thyroid, adrenal, islet-cell, gastric parietal cell, and intrinsic factor have been demonstrated. Neurogenic Hypothesis A compound is released at peripheral nerve endings in the skin which is toxic to melanocytes and inhibits melanogenesis. It is postulated that in the dermatomal variant, the affected area shows sympathetic nerve dysfunction. Catechol neurotransmitters probably destroy the melanocytes instead. There is little support for this hypothesis. Self-destruct Theory of Lerner Defect of a natural protective mechanism in melanin synthesis within melanocytes, leading to accumulation of toxic precursors (phenolic compounds) which destroy melanocytes. This hypothesis is based on the lethal effects produced by chemical compounds (phenols) on functional melanocytes; the resulting leukoderma is indistinguishable from idiopathic vitiligo.
