Congenital triangular alopecia (Brauer nevus).

Congenital triangular alopecia is manifested at 3 to 5 years of age by unilateral or, less frequently, bilateral patches of alopecia in the frontotemporal region. At this age the differential diagnosis is important, particularly as regards alopecia areata. Only about 47 cases have been reported, probably because the lesion is benign and nonprogressive. In 6200 patients seen in index visits, we found 7 with triangular alopecia, a frequency of 0.11%. We believe that males do not require treatment because of the later development of androgenic alopecia, but in women, surgical treatment is successful.

[Genital herpes of mixed etiology].

The relevance of mixed genital infections in our area was evaluated, and we report their clinical and epidemiological features for both viral types. We evaluated overall 54 Herpes simplex virus (HSV) isolates from 44 patients seen at the clinic of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) of the Sevilla School of Medicine during 1986 and 1987. The identification of the isolated strains was made by direct immunofluorescence with type-specific monoclonal antibodies. In those isolates where we detected both viral types confirmation was obtained with the endonuclease analysis: Hind III and Xho I. Four mixed infections were diagnosed, representing 7% of all HVS isolates of genital origin. Two were classified as initial nonprimary infections, and the remaining two were asymptomatic infections. Two patients showed simultaneous infections by other organisms.
