A case of minocycline-induced fixed drug eruption.

A case of fixed drug eruption induced by minocycline on the glans penis of a 26-year-old man is reported. Later oral administration of minocycline reproduced the same type of eruption, but tetracycline, possessing the same starting structure as minocycline, did not induce the eruption. Laboratory findings were normal. This seems to be the first case of fixed drug eruption induced by minocycline to appear in the literature.

EEG findings, rapid ACTH test and autonomic nervous symptoms in patients with alopecia areata.

Patients of multiple alopecia areata were examined in their EEG findings and rapid ACTH test and described the symptoms concerning the neuroautonomic system. Some abnormal EEG findings were seen in 75 cases out of the examined 105 patients. As to the rapid ACTH test, 10 cases out of 45 subjects were abnormal. A positive correlation was considered between abnormal EEG findings and abnormal value in the rapid ACTH test. It is speculated that the regulation centers in the brainstem and hypothalamus play a great role in pathophysiology of multiple areata.
