Response to Tregs in Innate Immunity Receptor LRP1 (CD91) and Tregs in Periferic Blood Mononuclear Cells in Patients With Non-segmentary Vitiligo

Overview

This study aims to evaluate some differences in the immune system between patients with vitiligo and patients without the disease. These differences will be evaluated by the extraction of peripheral blood that will be analyzed before the treatment and after the treatment that, in the habitual way and at the discretion of the responsible dermatologist.

Therefore, neither treatment nor follow-up visits will be modified by participation, but will be the same whether or not participate in the study. In the case of controls, two peripheral blood tubes (20ml) will be removed in a single participation. Patients with vitiligo will also be asked to complete questionnaires to measure stress, depression and perception of disease (PSS-10, Skindex-29, HADS, Likert) before and after 12 weeks (+/- 5 days) of therapeutic intervention . This study will include 20 patients with active non-segmental vitiligo and 10 controls without the disease.
