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.
