A Miami TV station ran a bit on Hep B and hair loss being associated with it. I was expecting an onslaught of distraught parents, but happily it never occurred. It was initially profiled down here a couple of months ago. I think it was in the glossy newspaper Pediatric Infectious Disease (or some title like that) recently also.
