Alopecia can occur in response to a high fever the patient suffered approximately three months previous to the hair loss. The fever damages the hair follicles and it takes about that long for the hair to fall out. The hair can become frighteningly thin for a time. When it grows back in it tends to be somewhat curly on someone who had previously straight hair. I know of two people who have experienced this several years ago. Most people have never heard of this. It can be difficult to make the connection because of the delayed reaction.
Hm, that's a new one on me. I've never heard of a fever causing hair loss before, nor am I aware of any literature in history that mentions such a condition.
I found this out years ago when a young person close to me had unexplained hair loss going nearly bald. The individual had had a near death infection about three months prior. The information is out there.
