Abstract

Background: Vitiligo is an idiopathic disorder characterized by macular hypopigmentation due to melanocyte impairment and the absence of melanin production. There is an antioxidant-prooxidant ratio shift involved in oxidative stress. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a stable product of lipid peroxidation and is a biologic marker of the increased oxidative stress. VASI is a parametric quantitative score that is sensitive to evaluate the degree of vitiligo severity. 

Keywords: Vitiligo; VASI; Malondialdehyde
