Abstract

Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by destruction of melanocytes resulting in the appearance of white patches. The cause of vitiligo is still not clearly known. In vitiligo, high infiltration of autoreactive cytotoxic T cells the perilesional margin is suggested being responsible for depigmentation.A deficiency of immunosuppressive T regulatory cells is suspected to play a key role in the breakdown in self-tolerance leading to the development of the disease. In this review article, the current trends on vitiligo research, treatment, and the role of T regulatory cells in vitiligo pathogenesis are discussed.
