[Clinical symptoms and therapy of the hereditary angioneurotic edema (author's transl)].

Sera of 333 patients showing clinical symptoms of "Quincke edema" have been tested for their deficiency of C1 esterase inhibitor. The diagnosis "Hereditary Angio Neurotic Edema" (HANE) could be stated in 39 cases, i.e. 11.9%. Clinical manifestations consisted of peripheral edema (80%), abdominal colics (77%), and facial edema (72%). Edema of the larynx have been observed in 51% of the cases. 10 patients have been treated with purified C1 esterase inhibitor during the attack as a substitutional therapy, and 10 patients received danazol during their attackfree intervals. Both of these treatments were therapeutically successful.

[Alopecia areata: successful half-side treatment with DNCB].

In 46 patients with alopecia areata, one side of the head was treated with weekly applications of DNCB, dissolved in acetone. The therapeutic aim was mild contact dermatitis. The other side of the head served as control region. A therapeutic effect was noted in 36 patients: 22 patients showed regrowth of hair exclusively on the treated side, and in 14 patients regrowth of hair was considerably faster and more dense on the treated side. In 8 patients no regrowth was observed, and in 2 patients regrowth occurred on both sides without any difference of intensity. The difference between both sides with regard to hair growth was seen in all of the 7 patients with moderate involvement and in 12 out of 13 patients with extensive involvement; but also in 17 out of 26 patients with alopecia areata totalis or fere totalis. The difference was noted, in the majority of cases, within 3 months. These results prove the efficacy of DNCB treatment of alopecia areata.
