Tinea capitis in adults over fifty years of age.
An 89-year-old black woman was examined for generalized folliculitis of the scalp that proved to be tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans. To our knowledge, she is the oldest known patient with this condition to be reported to date. Although it is uncommon in adults, this condition must be considered when clinicians are evaluating patients with hair loss and nonspecific scalp dermatitis.

Psychophysiological analysis of atopic dermatitis.
Ten atopic dermatitis (AD) patients with active symptomatology and ten control subjects matched for age, sex and race were administered a stress test. AD subjects had greater EMG and heart rate activity as well as higher anxiety scores on the Symptom Checklist-90R. These results suggest that AD may have a psychophysiological component.

Ataxia-telangiectasia or Louis-Bar syndrome.
Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a clinical syndrome that commonly shows oculocutaneous telangiectasia, progressive cerebellar ataxia, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, increased incidence of malignancy, x-ray hypersensitivity, and autosomal recessive inheritance. Profound dysfunction of both humoral and cell-mediated immune systems is demonstrated by low IgA levels, an immature thymus, a poor response to antigenic challenges, and recurrent infections. The high risk of malignancy may be related to poor immune surveillance. Two cases (sisters) are reported demonstrating the typical features of the disease along with the results of a trial of the immunopotentiating drug, levamisole, in one of them. The features of A-T are reviewed and include the more recent findings of elevated serum carcinofetal proteins and chromosomal aberrations.
